Question

My Mrs. has had to go abroad and has been there now for about 4 months, Although we miss each other tremendously and talk on the phone every day I often find myself imagining and fantasizing about my wife which leads me to a state of arousal. Is this allowed or should I try to stop thinking about my wife when my thoughts take this path, also, is this healthy? Your wisdom would be appreciated

Answer


Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate

It would not be permitted to arouse yourself in a matter that would lead you to do the impermissible.
