Q. Masturbation

Is it huram for a man to masturbate? Or is it a normal thing of nature?

A. Ejaculation is haram

Yes, it is haram (prohibited) to masturbate if it involves ejaculation.

When such a temptation occurs to a single man, fasting is recommended, as it disciplines the mind and body, making the body somewhat weaker and less sexually agressive. When such temptations occur to a married man, he should have sexual relations with his wife.
