Touching privates
Question
I've read in primary sources that touching one's penis is forbidden. How can I go about urinating or masturbating?
Answer
1. One should not touch the penis unnecessarily, however, it is not forbidden to to do so.
2. Masturbation. Somewhere on this site, search 'masturbation' (without quotes)
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
