Masturbating During Ramadhan?

From the website of Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader (Hat Tip: Andrew Sullivan ):

To Masturbate While Fasting

Q: If somebody masturbates during the month of Ramadan but without any discharge, is his fasting invalidated?

A: if he do not intend masturbation and discharging semen and nothing is discharged, his fasting is correct even though he has done a ḥarām act. But, if he intends masturbation or he knows that he usually discharges semen by this process and semen really comes out, it is a ḥarām intentional breaking fasting.

  1. I must say that stumped me as well. I also wondered about someone masturbating "but without any discharge"... thought that would be the whole purpose of the act.

  2. You see? You see? God is eazee with us touching ourselves, it's just us humans who mess with our heaven. You guys clearly haven't explored the pleasures of self-denial at the last possible minute (tut tut):-)

  3. Jon dear... how would you know this about females? Own the equipment? If a female has an orgasm, she discharges, trust me, or better yet, check the next time you... ;-)

    Guys, guys, guys... and ahem... ladies. It is totally possible to masturbate unintentionally.

    Once I was riding in my high school bus staring at Fatma Rizi's boobs... bag on my lap... bumps give you a hard one and ... well... you know the rest.

    Tell me if I intended to masturbate on the bus on my way home from school?
