Khameini: Don't masturbate during Ramadan

Iran's supreme leader answers questions on masturbation and other topics on his website

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 : "If somebody masturbates during the 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 ḥarām (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 ḥaram intentional breaking fasting," the Iranian leader said, posting the reply on his website.

Another reader asked: "Once in the holy month of Ramadan, I forgot to brush my teeth, and some tiny bits of food remained in my mouth. I swallowed the bits unintentionally. Do I have to perform the qaḍa (repent) for that day's fast?"

"If you did not know that some bits of food remained between the teeth, or you did not know that they would reach the throat, and they were swallowed unknowingly and unintentionally, then you are not liable to make (repent) of the fast," said Khameini.


'Drink water while standing'


On the website, Khameini also tells Iranians that only jockeys are permitted to gamble on horse races.


He is also asked whether it is permissible for a man to marry a woman only in order to be able to live in his wife's country. "Can a man conclude a marriage contract for a year with a European girl after getting her agreement with the purpose of going to her country?" A reader asked.


"There is no problem in that if they are serious in contracting marriage and it is done with her father's permission if she is virgin," Khameini ruled.


The Iranian leader also told readers they were allowed to "to drink water while standing" at nights. It was "not permissible" to take part in meetings attended by both men and women, he told another reader.

"In Islam's view, rulers and governments exist just to serve people and carry out works in the interest of the public and this is what God demands us, as authorities, to fulfill," Khamenei was quoted Tuesday telling Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Perhaps in a country where Islam is seen as a backward thinking, war and hate mongering religion, this may be seen as funny.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, and currently is the second largest religion in the world in terms of adherents to it.

Contrary to public perception it is not a religon of terrorism, persecution and repression.

Thus, some thought may be warranted before making perjorative or derogatory statements abot the religious choices of others.

As the resident Muslim I will also point out that those restrictions for the fast are in effect from sun up to sun down. After sundown, in the muslim world, Ramadan is 30 days of all night partying. Supposedly without alcohol but marijuana is legal there so it breaks even.

Mabey I will move to Iran one day. A place where being a transsexual who is a muslim does not seem like a contradiction.

In the case of Iran in particular let us not forget just such a fatwa is why TS ism is not officially persecuted there. Certain muslim beliefes about gender and gods power to do as god pleases are at the root of those laws.

I think you`re in the wrong section here

In there I enjoy exposing the Wilson/Plame Big liars.

I`ll refrain from exposing islam as a war religion( "I will convert by the sword") in the General Discussion board. I posted this because it`s just as hilarious as mohammed saying satan sleeps in your nostrils at night and camel urine is good to drink.

While not a fan of Islam, or any other organized religion for that matter, I have always found certain practices fascinating. Ramadan, in particular, has always held quite a bit of interest. Yom Kippur holds a similar interest for me.

TS are not persecuted due to fatwa, but they are, by the admission of most muslims, controlled, dominated and oppressed.

In other words they are either treated like women, or they are treated not much different than we are here in the USA?

@Quinn. I know what you mean. I was basically an atheist prior to my conversion.

No more than any other religion.

At least it's more real than Scientology.
