Khameini--Don't masturbate during Ramadan:
Deliberate masturbation during the month of Ramadan renders a fast invalid, Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khameini has ruled.
Khameini, who is Iran's most powerful political and religious figure, was asked on his website:
You gotta like the title don't you? "The Office of the Supreme Leader" How'd you like to have that stenciled on your door? Not much doubt about who's in charge around there.
"If somebody masturbates month of Ramadan but without any discharge, is his fasting invalidated?"
"If he do not intend masturbation and discharging semen and nothing is discharged, his fasting is correct even though he has done a haram (forbidden) act. But, if he intends masturbation or he knows that he usually discharges semen by this process and semen really comes out, it is a haram intentional breaking fasting," the Iranian leader said, posting the reply on his website.
Oh that? I don't how that happened. I certainly didn't mean to. That's not what usually happens. It was an accident.
By the way, I wonder what the punishment is for this offense? If you cut off a hand for stealing...
