Effects of masturbation in Islam

I have heard many acquaintances say that stars masturbate to get rid of stress. Masturbate offers a temporary escape from the pressures of daily life, They claim that it helps individuals relax, even to the point of promoting better sleep.

But is it really possible to get rid of stress after masturbation? While masturbating, they bring various things into their heads and awaken their libido. Arousing lust in the mind is a great stress. However, they believe that masturbation relieves stress. While it might provide fleeting pleasure, But the long-term consequences far outweigh this momentary satisfaction.

Masturbation, they contend, can lead to various physical and psychological issues, including sexual dysfunction, reduced libido, and a distorted perception of intimacy. Such problems often surface in marital relationships, creating dissatisfaction, mistrust, and, in extreme cases, leading to divorce. A broken marriage not only results in emotional turmoil but also contributes to a deeper level of stress, affecting one's overall mental health. For some, the inability to conceive due to the perceived detrimental effects of excessive masturbation adds another layer of grief and regret, making nights sleepless and minds restless with the thought of lost opportunities and unmet responsibilities.

Masturbation causes thousands of such problems. So refraining from this act and trying to prevent others from doing it should be continued.

According to them, masturbation brings a lot of happiness. If temporary happiness is the cause of lifelong misery, then it would be wise to discard that happiness.
