Is all forms of kissing allowed before marriage? And should you also perform Ghusal?

Question

Reading your site, it was said that a woman is allowed to give her husband pleasure with the use of her hand. Must she perform Ghusal once she has done this? Is all forms of kissing allowed before marriage? And should you also perform Ghusal?

Answer

It is not necessary for the wife to perform Ghusl.

All forms of kissing and contact with a woman before marriage is totally
prohibited. One should exercise restraint. In an event where one has already
made a mistake then Tawbah should be made. However, Ghusl is not Waajib.
Wudhu or Ghusl is Mustahabb after committing a sin.
