I have an embarrassing question, but need to know. If a woman uses a massager on her vagina, is this considered masturbation. What is the ruling concerning using this if the woman is under alot of stress and sees good-looking men at work but her husband is living in another country?
Praise be to Allaah.
You have to keep away from everything that
leads to a provocation of desire, for these means will no doubt ultimately lead
you to fall into doing the “secret habit”, which is haraam. See
Question # 329. What counts is doing that which
leads to a climax, whether that is done directly by the hand or by using a machine
whose vibrations lead to a climax. So strive against yourself (jihaad al-nafs)
and do not do that. You must keep away from and avoid places where you may mix
with men, because that is haraam according to sharee’ah, because the Shaytaan
will make you commit evil actions so long as you meet with them every day, especially
since your husband is absent. See Question # 1200.
You have to get in touch with your husband and tell him that he has to be there
so that you will not end up doing something haraam. See Question # 6713.
And Allaah knows best.
