Is it permissible for a man to masturbate with his hand via his wife, whether she is in a state of postpartum bleeding (nifas) or not? And what are the forbidden or reprehensible ways for spouses to engage in intercourse?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a man to enjoy his wife's entire body, with the exception of two cases: anal intercourse, which is an abhorrent act and its perpetrator is cursed, and vaginal intercourse during menstruation or postpartum bleeding, which is forbidden by the text of the Quran. As for anything else, it is permissible to enjoy it in all circumstances, even if it leads to the emission of semen, and the husband may masturbate with his wife's hand.
