< STRONG No. He just said that it made the person unclean. (Biblical) 

And after the person was unclean, then he would have to wash himself up and wait. 
Lev 15:16  "If a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening.
Lev 15:17  And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening. 


 

 

< STRONG No. It's just as unclean as it is sex, and thus just need bathing and some waiting.   

Lev 15:18  If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening. 


 

 

>> It may open the door for a lot of sin in people's lives. 

[Nabeel Q.] 

< But what about it helping people avoid fornication and sexual thoughts? 

Fornication is worse than masturbation. 

>> True, but masturbation itself, being repeated everyday, can produce sexual thoughts a lot. 

Masturbation excites some thoughts as you see certain movements in the outer world. It is a fact that masturbation is connected with thinking sexually

< STRONG There is probably a time to perform masturbation and a time to not to.
