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.
I must admit, I made myself laugh like an idiot when I created that one. They kinda look like rabid fans, plus I like how it trivializes their impotent rage.
All Khameini is saying.....is don't RAMADAN-YOUR-DING-DONG.
Thank God I'm not muslim.
(Sorry, couldn't resist!! LOL!!)
He he he --
"I am MASTER of my DOMAIN!"
Kinda explains why they're such a violent lot. Give them a beer, bratwurst and some private time with a Playboy magazine and terrorism would end overnight.
My co-workers hate when I inadvertantly do it... Its like, "[type type type type] ooooh maaaaan!!...its everywhere!!"
Ill tell them Khameini said it's cool...
LMAO! Ping
Yeah, I was looking for some mention of goats & sheep being forbidden, but found nothing.

... can lead to THIS:
Parents: TELL YOUR CHILDREN -- !!!
,,, a quick fifty off the wrist during a slow thirty one on the calendar has to be the ultimate in risk management.
Helloooo! Is this for real? Or is it an episode from the 'Twilight Zone?'
/h
I was quite... disturbed to see that the guy says that masturbation is 'breaking one's fast'.
What I really want to know is why/how I ended up on a "Wanker Ping List"! I always thought the "fart list" was the epitome...
,,, you can find your way off the wanker ping list once you've qualified - pictures not required.
Cheers!
Ha haaa! Imagine him trying to do the deed.
