Is it permissible to enter into a temporary Mutah marriage through conversation if we are in different countries and plan to marry permanently after two years? If so, what should I say to initiate this arrangement?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Intimate talk between male and female is not permissible with out Mut’a;h agreement (Aqd). You both should agree for a time frame and Mahr (Dowert) then recite the Agreement if Mut;ah either yourselves or through your proxies. She tells you: Zawwajtoka Nafis Akal Mahr Al-Ma'loom lil Muddatil Ma'loomah. You must reply her: Qabiltu al0Tazweej Li Nafis Akal Muddatil Ma'loomah 'alal Mahril Ma'loom..

Is it permissible for a 37-year-old divorced woman to occasionally masturbate to avoid sin, particularly in a country where finding a Muslim husband is difficult and considering the hormonal changes affecting her menstrual cycle?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Masturbation is a sinful act and we are not allowed to commit it under such excuse. Masturbation itself is itself a sinful act, and it can never be permitted for a Muslim female. There are many things mentioned in Quran and authentic Hadeeth which help avoiding falling in sexual sinful acts like:1. Fasting which helps a lot in controlling sexual urge. 2. Avoiding things which increase sexual urge like photos, films, music and songs.

3. Remembering the pious females who are the best models for us like lady Fatima, lady Mariam, lady Zainab, lady Ummul Baneen and other pious females.

4. Remembering the punishment of the sins and great reward of the piousness in this life and hereafter.
