Q&A: Du’a after Masturbation

Question:

What du'a to recite after masturbation?

Answer:

It's important to emphasize, that masturbation is not permissible in Islam.

There's, therefore, no du'a to recite after masturbation, just like there's no du'a to recite after committing any of the forbidden, in Islam.

There's rather du'a to recite not to masturbate. One can say:

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

“O Allah, grant my soul its piety, you are the Best Who purifies it, You are its Guardian and Master. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the knowledge that does not benefit, the heart that does not focus properly, the soul (self) that does not get satisfied, and the call (du'a) that is unanswered.”

He may also say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الهُدَى، وَالتُّقَى، وَالعَفَافَ، وَالغِنَى

“O Allah, I seek from You guidance, piety, chastity and wealth.”

He can also say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مُنْكَرَاتِ الأَخْلَاقِ وَالأَعْمَالِ وَالأَهْوَاءِ وَالأَدْوَاءِ

It means, “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evils of ethics, actions, and desires.”
