Woman exciting herself to the point of climax
Question: 3578
I wanted to know if a woman can excite
herself till she comes. Does this make her unclean the way intercourse does?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If a woman excites herself to the point of climax, it is
obligatory (waajib) for her to do ghusl, and she is considered to be junub (in a state of
sexual impurity) because of that. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “Water is for water” (Saheeh Muslim, 151), i.e., ghusl becomes waajib when
fluid is emitted as a result of sexual stimulation.
But this action – when a person excites herself or himself to the
point of climax – is masturbation, which is forbidden for men and women alike. There
is no differentiation between them in this regard. For more information and explanation of
the evidence (daleel), please see Question #329.
And Allaah knows best.
