What is the islamic philosophy regarding toys?

[Ciel_Rouge]

I suppose the Muslim members of the forum could easily answer this question which would be highly appreciated. I do realize it may appear a little odd but I do not recall this matter raised anywhere and I am simply curious.

Does Islam accept the use of erotic toys by men or women? If so, what kind? If not, what is the theological basis behind it?

I wouldn't know about Sunni hadiths, but in Shia hadiths, masturbation is forbidden.

Also, I think many Sunni Scholars forbid it on the basis of a verse that goes on the line that the righteous believers private parts are protected except from their wives and whom their right hands possess.

I have already done a bit of research and found out that some muslim religious authorities allow masturbation when someone fears he would commit fornication or as a last resort to widows or something. I have once seen a Muslim guy on this forum, I wonder when he will read this.

Yeah some sunni scholars do allow it.

Are you thinking about updating your world view?

Well, I'm trying to guess what you mean by "erotic toys".
Say, fleshlights, vibrators and the like.
Fleshlights are essentially synthetic vaginas, while vibrators are things that resemble male sexual organs.
Under that context, I believe that it should fall under the category of fornication for unmarried people, and adultery for married people, but I'm fairly certain that it's use does not have the same weight as doing it with a real person, for it involves a single person at the end.
In all, it comes down to what Islamic schools of thought wrote about masturbation.

But I don't really recall anything that relates to any "toys" in religious islamic literature, but such toys have been probably in use throughout the islamic world, historically, as they have been in use throughout most of the eastern world, like India and China.

There's a Hadith says لعن الله ناكح يده

which means : Allah will curse that who fucks his hand

I don't know about the toys ... I'll have to look that up
