Bayhaqi 14132 — Masturbation

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ} [المؤمنون: 6] قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: فَلَا يَحِلُّ الْعَمَلُ بِالذَّكَرِ إِلَّا فِي زَوْجَةٍ أَوْ مِلْكِ يَمِينٍ فَلَا يَحِلُّ الِاسْتِمْنَاءُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed they are not to be blamed. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors.' [Surah al-Mu'minun: 5-7]"
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "So the use of the private part is not lawful except with a wife or a slave woman; therefore masturbation (istimna') is not lawful, and Allah knows best."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: أنبأ حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الطُّوسِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُنِيبٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ الدُّهْنِيِّ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْخَضْخَضَةِ قَالَ: " نِكَاحُ الْأَمَةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الزِّنَا "، هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ مَوْقُوفٌ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about khadkhadah (self-stimulation), and he said: Marrying a slave woman is better than it, and it is better than fornication (zina).
This is mursal and mawquf.
