It is not haram, it depends. If one engages in it by himself then it is forbidden, but if it is done by a spouse then it is not haram.

Yeah, and when I hear masturbate my assumption is always doing it yourself. so a misunderstanding. And Allah :swt: knows best.

I assume OP to be single so it is haram for her.
 
The Qur'an expressly forbids consumption of alcohol, but it doesn't expressly forbid masturbation. That's not to say that masturbation is halal, though. Try to wean yourself off of masturbation if you can. There are better ways to spend your time. Fasting helps tremendously; I'm not sure why, but it helps battle one's desire to masturbate. Give fasting a go, insha Allah.

Can you explain how it is controversial? One must guard his private parts unless it be for his spouse, So I don't see what's so controversial about it?

Easy. There is not a single Ayah or Sahih Hadith which clearly prohibits it. It is all interpretations of people.

Actually I am not stuck into this issue. I am not a position to tell anybody to do or not to do masturbation. This is not respectful. What I wonder is how you can be sure of something which is not clearly mentioned in Quran and Sahih Sunnah?

If masturbation was halal, The Prophet :saw: would have advised his :saw: companions to do that, but he didn't rather he asked them to fast, not masturbate.

I take the stance that it is haram. I can't see it being halal, cuz if it was, The Prophet :saw: would have said to do so to those who can not control their desires.

Masturbation is just succumbing to one's desires. Which is haram. I see more evidence for it being haram, I see no evidence for it being halal tho.

Try to find a good company that can help you to relax without doing something haram and you may try stretching, it really benefits

I also believe that this is shaitan that makes you feel relaxed by doing haram so if you did something halal you will not feel relaxed for a while, that is why a good company is recommended to get you through that

This ^^^
 
It depends. Human in terms of nature has biological differences. Masturbation is a form of selfish attribution so you may be focusing more on yourself than on stuff around you or others which is why its not good to engage in it. Drinking (Although i am not a muslim) but in terms of drunkards makes you illusional, i've just never understood the fun in getting drunk to be honest so i've never had any problems with it. But i have heard sad stories on some people suffering from alcoholism.
 
:wa:

Sis, as others have said, these two activities are both sinful and are addictive and so it is a dangerous path to discuss choosing between two such sins. There really is no such thing as a necessary evil - it is a common trick of Shaytaan to make us think like that so please please beware. You are not alone struggling with stress, but there are many many halal ways of coping with it. As with most things, the key to success is prayer. If we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa to ease our worries and to help us stay away from sin, then we can be sure we will be heard. Try to do everything you can to stay close to Allah and that in itself will help keep things in perspective and reduce your stress in sha'Allah. Lots of study helps too, by helping us to understand why we are commanded to avoid things like alcohol and all sexual activity outside marriage, and also what the consequences of disobedience can be.

You are right, i meant yoga stretch like stretching after working out, if she dont like working out. I should have said it clearer

I changed it to stretching so that no misunderstanding occurs

To add to what I said earlier, have you ever thought of taking Arabic classes? If you don't have any hobbies or don't care for exercising, that would be a good way to occupy some free time.
 
Is there a reason the sister would not want to get married? That is the best solution.

Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Nikaah (marriage) is half of Deen.
 
Not sure what the OPs case is. I'm in my 30s and not married. I don't have any health issues or anything. I just think its a personality / compatibility thing. I also have plenty of nieces and nephews, so I know what not to get myself into :peace:

Just kidding... maybe...

That's not good. You should try to get married, akhi.

Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Nikaah is from my Sunnah, and whosoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me."

However, the `Ulamaa explain that the meaning of "turning away" in this Hadeeth does not apply to a person who simply doesn't get married; it's referring to a person who doesn't get married because he feels that way is better, or more pious, or he wants to be like the monks of old, etc.

Nevertheless, there is an exhortation in this Hadeeth to getting married. It is the Sunnah of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and of almost all the Ambiyaa.
