Is it permissible to sexually stimulate oneself?

Question

In islam, what exactly is regarded as masturbation and what will end up being a sin for the person. For example if someone does not play with their private parts, they do not put anything there nor do they rub anything, but maybe they squeeze both legs together or tighten their body, and from that they get pleasure, im nt too sure if its an orgasm but they get pleasure, and no liquid of any sort comes out in the midst of gaining that actual pleasure, does this come under masturbation, that which is prohibited? p.s this is for a woman

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is not permissible to sexually stimulate one’s self irrespective of the manner adopted in doing so.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
