Summary
A woman who masturbates is ruled the same as a man. The obligatory bath is required only if semen is emitted through the act, and it is not required if none comes out. The ruling also gives a threshold for women: a virgin must bathe only once the fluid exits her vagina, while a woman who has had intercourse must bathe once it reaches the inner part that must be washed during istinja'. Most scholars hold that masturbation itself is prohibited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berbalik kepada persoalan di atas, seorang perempuan yang beronani hukumnya sama seperti lelaki yang beronani iaitu diwajibkan untuk mandi sekiranya keluar air mani kerana perbuatan onaninya itu, dan sekiranya tidak keluar air mani maka tidak diwajibkan untuk mandi.
