So, you mean it’s not a sin.

[Abdullah AbdulRahman]

One thing, there is no directive in Quran nor even in Hadith saying masturbation haram (this thing is not even mentioned) (so is for porn, if I’m not wrong). The verses and Ahadith which are put forth regarding this are usually out of context or linguistic mistakes are made. So Islamically there is no directive or command. But then comes cultural ethics. That culturally masturbation and especially porn are considered unethical acts. So in that regards what would Islam say?

[Umer]

Culture and ethics are only relevant in interpersonal matters.

For information regarding pornography please see:
