The Imam -asws replied: ‘He is like going to bed with himself and there is no punishment on him (as for fornication but the sinfulness is the same).’ [4] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ‏ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الرَّجُلِ يَنْكِحُ بَهِيمَةً أَوْ يَدْلُكُ فَقَالَ كُلُّ مَا أَنْزَلَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ مَاءَهُ فِي هَذَا وَ شِبْهِهِ فَهُوَ زِنًى Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan from ‘Amr ibn Said Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said: ‘Abu Abd Allah -asws has said, about the case of a man who engages in sexual intercourse with animals or causes his semen to discharge, ‘Whenever a man causes his semen to discharge in this or that way it is (considered) as fornication.’ [5] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ يَكُونُ مَعَ الْمَرْأَةِ لَا يُبَاشِرُهَا إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ثِيَابِهَا [وَ ثِيَابِهِ‏] فَيُحَرِّكُ حَتَّى يُنْزِلَ مَاءَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَ هَلْ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ حَدَّ الْخَضْخَضَةِ فَوَقَّعَ فِي الْكِتَابِ بِذَلِكَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Rayyan who has said the following: ‘A man wrote to Abu Al-Hassan -asws and asked him -asws about a man who is with a woman and touches her from behind her clothes and his clothes and moves until he discharges semen: Is it considered ‘الْخَضْخَضَةِ’ masturbation?

The Imam -asws replied, (by doing so) he executed in (his) book a penalty (of sins).’ [6] عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ نَكَحَ بَهِيمَةً Ali ibn Muhammad al-Kulayniy has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Nawfaliy from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar from certain persons of his people who has said: ‘Abu Abd Allah -asws says that the Rasool Allah -saww has said, ‘Condemned is the one who engages in sexual activities with animals.’ [7] Supplication before Sleeping and Against Wet-Dreams و قال الصادق (عليه السلام): «من قرأها ليلا أمن من الجنابة و الاحتلام، و أمن في تمام ليله إلى أن يصبح بإذن الله تعالى».
