Question

If a woman masturbates, does she have to perform ghusl?

Answer


In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate.

May Allah's blessings and peace be on His Messenger Muhammad, and his folk, companions, and followers.

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Masturbation is sinful, and thus requires sincere repentance. Please go to www.SunniPath.com, and search for masturbation, and for sincere repentance.

If it results in orgasm, it also requires ghusl.

And Allah alone gives success.

Faraz Rabbani.
