The answer

Masturbation is forbidden (haram), and the fate of the one who commits this sin is subject to Allah's will. Whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. Fear of not being forgiven should be a motive to get rid of this bad habit, for Allah Almighty says: "Say, 'Indeed, I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.'" And if the soul feels constricted, its key is repentance, for Allah Almighty says: "And [He also forgave] the three who were left behind [and regretting] until, when the earth had become constricted for them, despite its vastness, and their souls had become constricted for them, and they were certain that there is no refuge from Allah except in Him, then He turned to them that they might repent. Indeed, Allah is the Acceptor of repentance, the Merciful." As for people not understanding, we advise consulting the counseling section.
