What is the ruling on a woman fondling and sucking her breasts, whether or not there is milk in them, and is this considered unlawful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to fondle or suck her breasts for pleasure and arousal, as this falls under the prohibited act of masturbation. However, if the purpose is other than pleasure and arousal, the general ruling is permissibility, so long as the purpose is not ill-intentioned.
