It is forbidden for a woman to fondle her own private parts because it is considered masturbation. However, it is permissible for the husband to fondle his wife's private parts as long as it does not violate custom. (ritual bath) is only obligatory upon the emission of semen, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Yes, if she sees water."
