Masturbation is Forbidden

Question :

Is masturbation unlawful?

Answer:

What is correct among the sayings of the scholars is that masturbation is unlawful. Allah Almighty says:
"And those who guard their chastity (Le. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors."

Here, Allâh Almighty praised those who satisfy their lusts with only their wives or (lawful) slaves; He Almighty also ruled that those who seek other means of satisfying their lusts are transgressors.
