Question

What can a person do if they have high sexual instincts? Is masterbation allowed?

Answer

In the name of Allah Most Merciful Most Compassionate

I pray you are well and in the best of health and iman.

Our beloved Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, advised us to fast under such circumstances until one can get married. Today a vegetarian diet helps. Masturbation is not permitted, please search SunniPath Answers (http://qa.sunnipath.com) for related answers.

And Allah alone gives success.
