islamic way to fulfill sexual desire during wife pregnancy

Q:

Assalamualaikum, My wife is pregnant, Alhamdulillah. And we both have agreed not to have sexual intercourse during her pregnancy, as we fear hurting the feutus/baby during intercourse. But I am feeling it difficult to control my sexual desire. I stay away from masturbation as I fear Allah, as the Qur’an says in surah Muminun 23:5, and Nur 24:30-32.
Is there any islamic way to fulfill my sexual desire during this period of time ?

A:

Waalykum salam

Thank you for your Question.

There is no harm into having a physical relation with your wife while she is pregnant. There is no harm for the baby either. Unless, her Doctor says that it is harmful Medically. Then only it will be advisable for you to keep away.

However, during this time a man can obtain all other pleasures from his wife except The only act that may harm the baby (If medically advised)

Otherwise the below Question and answer may help you in this regard:

1Question: If my wife wants me to masturbate in front of her, is it then allowed?
Answer: You are not allowed to masturbate yourself with your own hands, but if your wife can help you ejaculate with her hands, then that would be permissible.

Masturbation a major sin
