Question
Is orgasm or sexual climax right of wife as what I have read only intercourse is discussed . But biologically women are not just satisfied by intercourse they need external stimulation so is the husband obligated to completely satisfy the wife by orgasm or climax
Is he sinful if just has his orgasm and leaves wife unsatisfied
Is the husband sinful if he didn’t apply enough efforts because it may be she has much more appetite than him . And it will be unfair because husband can use her any part to reach climax but wife totally see depends on him
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Physical intimacy is a right of both, husband and wife equally.
A husband is religiously obliged to fulfil the sexual needs of his wife and not deprive her of this right.
Just as satisfying a man keeps him chaste and away from sin, satisfying one’s wife’s desire prevents her from sin and temptation.
The famous Hanafi Jurist, Allamah Kasani Rahimahullah states that:
Both spouses share this ruling of deriving sexual pleasure, for just as the wife is lawful for the husband, her husband is also lawful for her. [1]
Imam Abu Haneefah Rahimahullah was once asked by his famous student, Imam Yusuf Rahimahullah, regarding a man who stimulates his wife’s private organs and she stimulates his private organ in order that he get an erection, do you see any wrong in that?” He replied, “No, rather I am confident that one will be rewarded for doing so. [2]
The Ahaadeeth clearly indicate that a man is certainly responsible for fulfilling the needs of his wife. Failing to do so, will result in sin.
Furthermore, satisfying the wife’s intimate needs will result in a healthy and successful marriage.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وللزوجة أن تطالب زوجها بالوطء؛ لأن حله لها حقها كما أن حلها له حقه، وإذا طالبته يجب على الزوج، ويجبر عليه في الحكم مرة واحدة والزيادة على ذلك تجب فيما بينه، وبين الله تعالى من باب حسن المعاشرة واستدامة النكاح، فلا يجب عليه في الحكم عند بعض أصحابنا، وعند بعضهم يجب عليه في الحكم

وعن أبي يوسف في «الأمالي» قال: سألت أبا حنيفة رضي الله عنه عن الرجل يمس فرج امرأته، أو تمس هي فرجه ليتحرك عليها؛ هل ترى بذلك بأساً؟ قال: أرجو أن يعظم الأجر
