Question:
Assalaamu Alaykum respected Ulama,
I am married for 4 years now and I still find intercourse extremely painful – and most times it does not happen. I have been to a few medical doctors and they have told me that I have condition called vaginismus.
In order to cure this condition, I have to start inserting my finger or other small objects into my private parts so that the muscles can loosen up. I have to do this for several months. Please advise if this is Islamically allowed as I am well aware that masturbation is haraam.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sister.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Follow that medical advice with the intention of shifa as it is not a permanent situation in sha Allah. Mawlana is praying for your cure.
