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.
Wild Thing’s comment…..
LMAO I am sorry but this is just sooooo stupid and so funny!
Funny that nothing is said about sex with livestock….you know like goats. Now is a great time to drop thousands of leaflets featuring scantily clad women.
WT:
Until a few months ago, there was a website devoted to matters like this one. It was called http://www.asktheimam.com. I can’t link it anymore, but it was your one-stop clearing house for those mysterious gray areas where Islamic code collides with medical realities and simple human need.
This guy has all the respectability of the old Newport and Boston etiquette advisers (now all Democrats), and he’s about as pretty. Maybe prettier, but the do-rag with fanbelt is sooooo last year.
I’ve been agonizing about drinking water at night when I’m on my feet, too. But I can’t say the Instructions for Muslim Wankers chapter of The Best of “Hairy-Palms” Khameini is anything but hypocrisy. He’s just got that glassy-eyed look.

Hahahaaha Thanks!!
I wonder if his hand at his side is for effect, habit, has gas, or has an over productive feminine side.
WT:
I heard somewhere that compulsive masturbation causes a tumor that looks like Ayatollah Khomeini to grow on top of your head.
As for that hand, I think he’s tucked a Ring Ding or two in his cumberbund. Now that I think of it, Khameini has probably had a LOT of Ring Dings in his cumberbund.
Rhod, OMG I am laughing so hard here.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have the picture figured out. You’re right, WT. The Pepperoni Pizza gave him gas, and he’s bitching about the bill.
Another reader asked: “Once in the holy month of Ramadan, I forgot to brush my teeth,
he forgot to brush his teeth?
Linda, even more surprising, “teeth” is plural.
Moslems own toothbrushes? Huh.
And how does one accidentally masturbate? “Oh moon god, my hand accidentally slipped during evening prayers. I was glimpsed a lovely sheep and I don’t remember anything else.”
Ah,…the futility of it all, telling a bunch of jerkoffs—not to…..Best of luck there Ahmed Einstein….
Billy
Linda yes I saw that too. haha
razOr, hahaha I bet they have verses some place in the quran that teaches the how to. Well maybe not but anything is possible with this weird cult.
Billy love the “Ahmed Einstein”.
hahaha
You know, this is another example of how little Muslim’s know their religion if they gotta ask questions like this? Do I do that? Do I do this, I remember this guy in college saying “i don’t know if I’m drinking water correctly” like give me a fucking break already…you aren’t going to hell cause you drank water incorrectly, basically as long as it goes down ur mouth you have drunk it correctly….
