Masturbation and watching pornography

· 9 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I'd like to know regarding the harms of mastabation and watching pornography. Please kindly provide Ahadith of the Prophet صلّى الله عليه وسلم.

Answer

Shame and modesty is an integral branch of imaan. This type of behaviour is totally against modesty. Hence, a person who is behaving in this manner breaks an important branch of faith.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
