Khameini: Don’t masturbate during Ramadan
Cripes!
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.
The English version of Khameini’s website is here. Keep checking. It’s sudden disappearance may indicate a hoax.

This is what happens with indoctrination. People cannot think for themselves but rather rely on a “leader” or a book of rules. It happens in every single culture.
I knew a muslim who observed Ramadan. He would fast all day but would stuff his face one minute after sundown. I once asked him if someone put a gun to his head and gave him the choice to eat pork or take a bullet in the brain, he said (sincerely) he would die. What made me laugh is that he would eat New York hotdogs labelled “all beef”. hahahaha…

Everyone knows that masturbation is not good…
Whats surprising about this is they are allowed to masturbate AT ALL. In some Christian religions, this will send you to hell. I wonder who is more progressive / oppressive. I guess we still have the upperhand,
(pun intended).
Most religions dont let you work with madam palm and her five daughters. Seems though that ramadan is just a window where having one off the wrist is not allowed. Presumably you can rub one out any time around that window. People will wank no matter what this holy leader decrees. Who would admit a la Seinfeld they ‘were out’ with these nutcases?
Everyone knows that masturbation is not good….poor kitties
Everyone knows that masturbation is having sex with someone you love!
I would make a comment here, but I’m too tied up the next few days to deal with a Jihad.
First sentence: “Deliberate masturbation…”
This implies there is such a thing as indeliberate masturbation. WTF is that?
fingus…it’s when you absent mindedly masturbate…
#1 The first part of your comment also works in the US. Think of all the Bush followers and the religious right that does not question what he says (or their preachers). I have no problem with people believing in something different then me.I have a problem with blind faith. Like I have a problem with Iranians blindly following this guy.
SNL Weekend Update last week had a good point about this. “If masturbating during the month of Ramadan invalidates fasting, I think you’re doing it wrong.”
Once upon a time, during the Middle Age, Islam was a Great Religion, a Great Culture. Islam dominated most of the known world then, with then revolutionary concepts like religious freedom, religious tolerance.
Then the West adopted those values. And Renaissance happened. And Islam found a great and powerful contender. And what did it do? Well, it decided to do exactly what Christian countries were doing that got them into the Middle Ages…
So now, ALL Islamic countries are in the Middle Ages. The Dark Ages. Don’t judge all Muslims for what their leaders do. Bear this in mind – they are in the Dark Ages. All of them are either victims, or just plain criminally stupid.
BTW, they’re so screwed up I doubt they have sex at all, let alone masturbate…
HAVE SEX, GUYS, IT’S FUCKING GOOD! MUHHAMED HAD SEX, AND HE FUCKING LIKED IT!
#11, what separates the men from the boys is FAITH. Boys (children) have faith because the DEPEND on authority. Men have faith IN THEMSELVES because they are their only authority. ALL people who believe in authorities or belong to a church ARE CHILDREN. The leaders are merely BAD children who have realized that just by MERELY SAYING they have power, PEOPLE BELIEVE IT.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: BELIEF IS EVERYTHING. (Hasn’t anyone seen “The Wizard of Oz” goddamit?!?)
P.S. while we’re at it talking about men and boys…
How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?
(answer: with a crowbar) (hey… you started with masturbation.)
I see one of the “leader sites” went down. This could be an elaborate (a beauty) hoax.

The Wizard of Oz is a gol darn fantasy, for crying out loud.
How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?
Now you insult a entire nation with your homophobic diatribe.
David, get a life.
#16. There is so much Truth in that movie. You gotta see beyond the screen. Take hold of the message. There’s a reason there is a Hollywood. If you can’t read, movies will come to your rescue to explain life. You just have to see the right ones.
Ancient Greece’s culture was government sanctioned pedophilia. What are you talking about? It is fact.
October is apple polishing month
I pitty the fool that has a wet dream under his rule!
i’ll bet john is up in arms over this…
Sounds to me that there isn’t a problem with women masturbating either themselves or the men.
