Harms of masturbation
Question
Can you kindly tell me what are the harms of masturbation.
Answer
When masturbation has been declared impermissible and a sin, then this alone is sufficient for a believer to refrain from it. A believer does not need to know the physical harms in order for him to refrain.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
