Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife's enjoyment of her husband's body is permissible and does not fall under the forbidden masturbation. Each spouse may enjoy the other's body however they wish, except for what has been forbidden by Islamic law, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them."
