Sex with pregnant wife permissible?
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
is a husband allowed to
have sex with his wife whilst she is pregnant?
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer:
Sex with pregnant wife
permissible?
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He
allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there
is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
There is absolutely no harm if a husband has sex with his pregnant wife. The only times it is not permissible to have sexual intercourse with their wives are:
during their monthly periods
during their periods after
childbirth
while they are performing
obligatory fasts.
In fact, there is a reward every time the husband has
sexual intercourse with his wife in Islam.
The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah (saws) is there a
reward if one satisfies his passion?"
He (saws) said: "Do you
know that if he satisfies it unlawfully he has taken a sin upon himself? Likewise, if he satisfies it lawfully, he is
rewarded."
(Narrated by
Muslim).
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
Burhan
