Answer	Masturbation is not permissible under any circumstances. (Ref : http://sistani.org/index.php?p=616687&id=1213 ) . First of all repent and pray to Almighty Allah (swt) for forgiveness and promise yourself not to do that sin again and always remember that Allah (swt) is looking at you and by doing that sin you do obey devil and disobey Allah(swt). Also try to engage in some useful activities such as sports, reading ..etc and avoid anything that may arise your sexual desire. Also if you cannot control yourself then you must get married.(E-mail Rcvd from A.Sistani(d.b) Sep 27, 2010) (Khuda aap ki tawfiqaat mein izafa farmaye)
