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.
