Once one of 4 imams told his student that washing b/w fingers is NOT required in wuzu & immediately a student brought Hadith mentioning Prophet(saw) washing b/w toes. Imam immediately appologized & changed what he said.
So Imams & scholars are NOT Prophets they were just as human & us & of same intelligence level. They had equal tendency to mis-interpret Quran & Hadith. Quran simply says that NO ONE EXCEPT WIFE & slave girl. IT does NOT say anything about "urself". CHASTITY is NOT broken by one's SELF, it's broken if u go to anyone except WIFE & slave girl.
Rather there's a saying that someone asked Prophet(saw) about masturbation & he prohibited him frm asking this question again because if ALLAH gave a ruling that might bring difficulty for men.
so in other words this was left for ppl to decide & there's NO strict ruling on this issue.
It's like "miswaak"(brushing teeth) in every ablution. Prophet wanted to make it compulsory BUT left it "sunnah"(non-compulsory) only for sake of ease for muslims.
so according to you a non Scholar , all the scholars from the Tabi een and the Tabi Tabi een , from Imam Abu Hanifa till Hassan al Basri till Shaikh ibn Taymeyya till Imam ibn Abdul Wahab till Ibn Baaz , all these noble scholars misinterpetated because you a non scholar doesnt agree with them.
then again raises my question :
1.have you studied Aqeedah
2.have you studied Shariaa
3.have you studied Fiqh
4.Uloom al Hadith
if ''yes''
under wich shaikhs and wich academy/university
if ''no'' then how can you ''judge'' or pass a fatwa while you never studied or memorized all hadiths you are not an Haafiz , you never studied Tafseer from the scholars,
prophet adviced people that were unmarried : to fast and too guard their private parts
if Masturbation was allowed : then the prophet would adviced us to do so and so.
anyway akhi if you agree with me or the scholars or not , its up to you , may Allah protect you , greetings your brother Abdullah
