The Egyptian media, Doaa Farouk, was surprised by a caller trying to inquire regarding the ruling on masturbation. And they cited his eminence for the saying of God Almighty: “And do not cast yourself into destruction
And do good, for God loves the doers of good.” [البقرة : 195]The preacher added, through his meeting, that scientists and modern medicine have proven the terrible harm of masturbation on the body, as it reduces memory, weakens the body, thinks regarding the mind and brain, weakens the bones and may reach addiction.
Al-Sabbagh advised the necessity of staying away from watching pornographic films and pictures, and turning a blind eye to what is forbidden, because the mind and the heart were only preoccupied with pictures that were taken with the eye.
