The answer

Ejaculating semen in the manner described is a type of forbidden masturbation. Spouses should not discuss matters of intercourse over the phone or internet, and even more forbidden is for each to see the other via camera for enjoyment. The husband should not be absent from his wife for a prolonged period. The wife has a right that her husband should not be absent from her for more than six months without her permission. What helps a woman be patient is holding fast to Allah, adhering to the rulings of the Sharia, keeping away from situations of suspicion and temptation, and increasing in fasting while safeguarding her hearing and sight, and occupying her time with beneficial deeds.
