What is the ruling on a wife masturbating with her hand after intercourse due to not achieving full sexual satisfaction, and does this fall under His — the Most High’s — saying: "And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed — but whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors"?

Masturbation, whether by hand or other means, is forbidden for both men and women. Spouses are permitted to enjoy each other in any way they wish, as long as it is not during menstruation or in the anus. Lack of satisfaction can be addressed through open communication and understanding between the spouses, their psychological preparedness, and educating them about the differences between men and women in this regard. Masturbation may diminish a woman's desire for intercourse or prevent her from achieving full satisfaction.
