A married couple is in a long-distance relationship for 2 years and use video calls to address their sexual desires. But the husband asks the wife to stimulate herself to arouse him. Does this act count as masturbation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Masturbation is not permissible. Wife is not allowed to arouse herself by her own hands or body. Her husband is allowed to do that for her physically when he is with her and not from long distance.

If a woman has a 7-day menstrual period, with the final 2 days being lighter and unsure if it is menstrual bleeding or Istihadha, is it permissible for her to engage in physical intimacy with her husband using a condom?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When her menstruation is over, it will be permissible to engage in physical intimacy with her husband whether with or without condom. If the bleeding is Istihadha, it is also permissible. Her Salah should be with Wudhu for every Salah if the blood does not fill the pad. If blood fills the pad but does not leak out of it, one Ghusl in the morning is to be added. If blood fill and leaks out of the pad, another two Ghusls are to be added to make the total Ghuslvthree,vibe before Mornung Salah, second before Dhuhr and third before Maghrib Salah.

Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

She must ascertain that her cycle has finished, and be sure that it is no longer haydh, but istihidhah. Until then, it is haram to have intercourse, and using condom is irrelevant in this ruling.

I am interested in converting to Islam but I am intersex with both male and female traits, mostly female. I am unsure of how to start and what actions to take. Should I pray, dress, and fulfill roles as a woman?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. To be a Muslim, you must believe that; there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.

2. Muslims must obey Allah’s orders and leave sinful acts. Sinful sexual relationships must be stopped immediately in your life.

3. If you were as a born female or born as a male, you must dress and behave accordingly.

Wassalam.
