Turkish preacher Mucahid Cihad is warning men who masturbate that their hands will be pregnant in the afterlife

Turkish preacher Mucahid Cihad Han made a rather strange statement recently on live TV when he was asked a question about masturbation. 

A caller looking for guidance got in touch, stating that although he was married, he still masturbated, even during the holy pilgrimage to Mecca, and that he was hoping to find a way to stop. 

According to The Daily Mail, it seems that Han was originally confused by the question, and asked the distressed caller to repeat himself several times, before telling him that he was doing something that was forbidden. That wasn't all the bad news he had for him, however, adding that in the afterlife he'd have his hands full.

"One [saying] states that those who have sexual intercourse with their hands will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife" Han stated on the show, and later took to Twitter to clarify the interpretation, adding "let's keep ourselves out of trouble".
