Masturbating

Q: My wife is unable to reach sexual satisfaction by sexual intercourse or by me stimulating her. Is she allowed to masturbate in front of me while we are having intercourse, if I allow it, as this is the only way for her to be satisfied? I don't have a problem with it.

A: It is impermissible for one to take pleasure from one's body (through masturbation, etc). However it is permissible for the wife to masturbate for the husband and vice versa.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
