Is it permissible for somebody to masturbate in order to avoid zina?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
TO AVOID DOING ZINA CAN A PERSON MANSTURBATE IF A WOMEN APPROACH A PERSON TO DO ZINA WITH HER…..JUST TO GET RID AND STRONG TO AVOID DOING ZINA WITH WOMEN…

Answer

(Fatwa: 1034/779/H=1431)

If you completely avoid such women they will not come to you. And if by chance they come get them out and protect your gaze, heart and tongue completely. In no way allow frankness, openness and unveiling from your side, otherwise get yourself away from the place. If you have wife and there is nothing to stop you from having intercourse, fulfil your sexual desire with your wife. And if you cannot do so or there is no time then get yourself engaged in tilawat, istighfar and zikr.  And if nothing works from the above mentioned methods and there is no other way to keep yourself away from adultery except masturbation then due to compulsion you go for it. Though in such case too this masturbation is a curse from Almighty Allah, hence if it happens keep on doing true and genuine tauba and istighfar.
