Question

Is it mandatory for a women to do major ablution after ejaculation due to masturbation?

Answer

Yes, Ghusl is compulsory (i.e. washing the entire body from the head to the feet.)

References (Arabic / Urdu sources)

( وفرض ) الغسل ( عند ) خروج ( مني ) من العضو وإلا فلا يفرض اتفاقا لأنه في حكم الباطن ( منفصل عن مقره ) هو صلب الرجل وترائب المرأة... ( بشهوة ) أي لذة ولو حكما كمحتلم ولم يذكر الدفق ليشمل مني المرأة (الدر المختار 1/159)
