Masturbating due to living away from one's husband

· 19 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am married and away from my husband. When I was naked, sexual thoughts came and I reached orgasm. Though I could control, I didn't. How do I repent? Is this masturbation?

Answer

Beg Allah Ta`ala's forgiveness and let your husband know that you cannot manage and that he should be living with you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
