Question

I know this is an odd question to ask but I’m newly married so I wanted to ask about it before I make a mistake. Is it allowed for my wife to make me climax with her hand? I asked a person this question before they said it’s allowed but I wanted to confirm it with a mufti.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Answer:

It is permissible for a wife to give pleasure to her husband by using her hand, and vice versa. Imam Abu Yusuf says: “I asked Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding a man who strokes his wife’s vagina and she strokes his penis in order that he gets an erection, do you see any wrong in that?” He replied, “No, rather I am confident that one will be rewarded for doing so.”^[1]
