[blue]Which Shariah do you mean?

In Islamic terminology, masturbation (istimna) means self-stimulation of the sexual organ till one achieves emission of semen or orgasm

While describing the believers, the Qur'an says, &quot;The believers are... those who protect their sexual organs except from their spouses... Therefore, whosoever seeks more beyond that [in sexual gratification], then they are the transgressors.&quot;

23:1 [hl]The believers[/hl] must (eventually) win through,
23:2 Those who humble themselves in their prayers;
23:3 Who avoid vain talk
23:4 Who are active in deeds of charity;
23:5 [hl]and who are mindful of their chastity, [Lit., &quot;who guard their private parts"][/hl]
23:6 [hl][not giving way to their desires] with any but their spouses[/hl] - that is, those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock]: [3] for then, behold, they are free of all blame,
23:7 [hl]whereas such as seek to go beyond that [limit] are truly transgressors[/hl];

The last sentence makes it very clear that any sexual gratification outside marriage is considered a transgression of the law of God.
