What is the ruling on a woman touching or stimulating her own body during intercourse, whether by hand or by devices used for sexual activity, with the intention that both spouses derive pleasure as the husband expresses that this act arouses him and he enjoys it?
Answer
In the name of Allah, sexual self-stimulation for either spouse — male or female — is not permitted. However, it is recommended for the wife to engage in movements, even erotic dancing that increases the husband’s sexual desire, provided it does not involve singing or music. Allah knows best.
