Woman . Sexual . Desire . Sin . Man . Divorce . Masturbation . Marriage

Is it permissible for a 37-year-old divorced woman to occasionally masturbate to avoid sin, particularly in a country where finding a Muslim husband is difficult and considering the hormonal changes affecting her menstrual cycle?

No. Masturbation is a sinful act and we are not allowed to commit it under such excuse. Masturbation itself is itself a sinful act, and it can never be permitted for a Muslim female. There are many things mentioned in Quran and authentic Hadeeth which help avoiding falling in sexual sinful acts like:1. Fasting which helps a lot in controlling sexual urge. 2. Avoiding things which increase sexual urge like photos, films, music and songs.

3. Remembering the pious females who are the best models for us like lady Fatima, lady Mariam, lady Zainab, lady Ummul Baneen and other pious females.

4. Remembering the punishment of the sins and great reward of the piousness in this life and hereafter.

Sexual . Husband . Masturbation . Marriage

A married couple is in a long-distance relationship for 2 years and use video calls to address their sexual desires. But the husband asks the wife to stimulate herself to arouse him. Does this act count as masturbation?

Masturbation is not permissible. Wife is not allowed to arouse herself by her own hands or body. Her husband is allowed to do that for her physically when he is with her and not from long distance.

Kaffara . Masturbation . Sawm (Fasting) . Sexual

Is Kaffara still obligatory on a man who was masturbating while fasting, and while not intending to reach ejaculation, did accidentally trigger climax which led to ejaculation and caused his fast to be broken?

If he knows that his masturbating can lead him to ejaculation by accident, his act of masturbation is a sinful act and he has to pay Kaffara along with Qadha of the fast if that day.

If ejaculation happens completely unintentionally then no Kaffara.

Masturbation . Ghusl . Ramadan . Sawm (Fasting) . Sexual . Salah (Prayers)

If I didn't know masturbation invalidates fasts, and didn't know what Ghusl Janabah was at a young age, must I repeat prayers and fasting? I don't know for sure this happened during Ramadan, as it was a couple years ago. What should I do?

If you did not know that masturbation invalidates the fast and you committed masturbation during the days of the month of Ramadan there is no Kaffara on you but Qadha of the fast of that day. If you did not know that Ghusl of Janabah is compulsory for a valid fasting you need to keep Qadha (Qaza) for every day of fasting which you are sure that you were in the state of janabat. Wassalam.

Employment . Wife . Masturbation

Is it permissible for me to maintain a physical distance from my wife while working in the Middle East, but still engage in video calls where we can see each other's body parts, without engaging in masturbation?

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, you can do that, as long as she is ok with you being away from her, and try your best to either bring her to where you live, or finish your trip and return back to live together.

Husband and wife in general should be living together regularly.

As for seeing each other, etc, that is also permissible, but you correctly said "without masturbation".

Sin . Head . Masturbation

How can I protect myself from falling into the sin of masturbation through watching inappropriate videos?

If you remember the fact that every sin can result in hellfire, you will then avoid committing such sins. Whenever your evil desire tells you to watch such videos or to masturbate, go to your kitchen and make your hands near a fire, and see how much you can tolerate that,then ask yourself: Can you tolerate the hellfire? No one can tolerate the hellfire but some people try to forget it before committing sinful acts.

Remembering the definite results of our deeds should make us aware and away from sinful acts

Masturbation . Ramadan . Qadha . Sawm (Fasting) . Kaffara . Sexual

If a male accidentally ejaculates due to masturbation while fasting in Ramadan without intending to, does he need to perform both Qadha and Kaffarah, or is it only required if the ejaculation was intentional?

If the ejaculation occurred without intending to do that, Qadha is must of that fast. Kaffara is obligatory if it was done intentionally. But how can one masturbate with out intending to do it? Was he sleeping. If he masturbates while he was awake then he has committed it intentionally. If he masturbated but his intention was not to reach to ejaculation, and ejaculation occurred with out his control, that might be possible.

Woman . Husband . Masturbation . Sexual

Is a woman allowed to masturbate if her husband does not satisfy her?

Bismihi ta'ala

In Islam, masturbating is haram. If the woman is married, it is her husband's duty to satisfy his wife's sexual needs. It is very oppressive and selfish if he does not. We have numerous hadiths that mention this as well.

If, for whatever reason, the husband is not fulfilling his duty and catering to her rights, it does not give her permission to do haram, and she must address this with her husband, or find other solutions.

And Allah knows best.
