· 9 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If the wife is not fully satisfied after sexual intercourse, will it be permissible for the husband to use his hand and masturbate the wife so that she may be satisfied?

Is it permissible for the husband to masturbate the wife whilst she is in her menses? Can he touch the private parts with his hands without a covering on her private parts?

Will ghusl be fardh on the wife after masturbation?

Answer

Yes

When the wife is in the state of Haidh, the husband should refrain from touching the area below the navel till the knee.

If semen had come out, ghusal is compulsory.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
