Does quran have any restriction about mastubation?

The Qur’an says absolutely nothing explicit about masturbation.

  • No verse uses a term that clearly means masturbation.

  • No direct command forbidding it.

  • No direct allowance, either.

That means:

  • If someone tells you “it’s haram” based only on the Qur’an—they’re adding interpretation.

  • If someone says “it’s halal”—same thing, just interpretation.

What Allah does say in clear terms is about:

  • Guarding private parts

  • Permissible sex being only within marriage (or bondwomen in historical context)

  • Avoiding indecency

But masturbation is never mentioned by name.
