What is the ruling on a girl imagining that she is married and has children, and that she is with her imaginary husband in intimate situations, while loving her body and wishing to marry a man who would enjoy it?
If the fantasies do not arouse lust, then there is no blame for them; because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has forgiven my Ummah for what crosses their minds, as long as they do not act upon it or speak of it." However, indulging in them may open a door to evil. If they are for arousing sexual instinct and enjoyment, then they are forbidden; because they are a means to indecency. For in the : "Indeed, Allah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and the zina of the eyes is looking, the zina of the tongue is speaking, and the soul wishes and desires, and the private parts confirm that or deny it." One should direct their efforts and occupy their soul with what is beneficial until marriage becomes easy.
