A Turkish preacher has warned male Muslims that if they masturbate, they will get their hands pregnant and will have to look after their children in the afterlife.

According to The Huffington Post, televangelist Mucahid Cihad made the wild claim in response to a man who called into his show who claimed he “kept masturbating, although he was married.”

Mucahid went on to state that masturbation is forbidden in Islam, stating: “Moreover, one hadith states that those who have sexual intercourse with their hands will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife.”

The Qur’an makes no mention of masturbation, which in turn has meant that over time, Muslim scholars and clerics have made their own minds up on it.
