Masturbation

Q: Is masturbation allowed in Islam or not? If no, why because according scientific research its a normal habit.

A: No.

Islam is not subject to science. Scientific research also shows that gay is normal and eating haraam is also normal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

الاستمناء حرام وفيه التعزير ولو مكن امرأته أو أمته من العبث بذكره فأنزل فإنه مكروه ولا شيء عليه كذا في السراج الوهاج (الفتاوى الهندية 2/ 170)
