Summary

Masturbation is forbidden for both men and women, and when semen is discharged the ritual bath for major impurity becomes obligatory. Prayers performed without that bath are invalid because freedom from major ritual impurity is a condition of prayer, so they must be made up as far as one is able. A marriage contracted while the bride is in a state of janabah or menstruation remains valid as long as its pillars and conditions are met, since ritual purity is not a condition of marriage. If the contract is held inside a mosque, the bride in janabah must not enter it.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Secara kesimpulannya, perbuatan onani sehingga keluar air mani bagi lelaki dan perempuan adalah menyebabkan wajibnya mandi junub.
