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.
HAHA
Bet he is projecting!
He needs to talk to the fellow on the sideline at this past weekend's Kentucky football game.
That means no jerkadi the al-wanky.
'As opposed to ACCIDENTAL or NON-DELIBERATE'
That would occur during a wet dream featuring Helen Thomas...
Well, I go with "trust, but verify" when anything this rib-cracking funny
appears on the Internet.
Well, I think I can help others go to the real source.

IN-FREAKIN'-CREDIBLE!!!
Nice to know that asthma inhalers and insulin injections are allowed during Ramadan!
> Let me get this straight (no pun intended). He does spanking the weasel have anything to do with not eating/fasting?
More Spork Weasel!
Only rapists can masturbate.
Really, these maniacs think all this legalism (don't eat pork, raise your butt 5 times a day, etc) is getting them into heaven. Also, if you murder people, you get an express train into heaven with lots of whores in your bed.
These idiots are worse than the Nazis. The only thing they thought they would get was promoted.
Just wondering, do they wear little turbans on the end of their little dicks?
Doesn't anybody recognize SATIRE today?

Y'know, I'd actually be pulling for the former Surgeon General. So to speak. I imagine the coup de grace would be both disgusting and appropriate.
"Khameini also tells Iranians that only jockeys are permitted to gamble on horse races."
The reason: the camel jockeys are probably under-age children, slave labor, and "forced" to wager instead of getting paid.
Why else would jockeys be allowed to wager?
They'll have a hard time (no pun intended) keeping their hands free after having a look at that little lovely.
