Female Masturbation

Question

Shalom, is it halachically ok for a single woman in an orthodox gijur process to take care of physical needs on her own, if due to the length of the process marriage is not in sight.

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

As you have not yet converted to Judaism it is permitted, as long as there is no forbidden sexual relation.
