It is not permissible to masturbate with the hand. However, it is permissible for a man to enjoy his wife during menstruation or post-childbirth bleeding () without penetration, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Do everything except intercourse," and in another narration: "except sexual intercourse."
