Answer:
Pregnant Sex
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.
The only times it is impermissible and unlawful in Shariah
for a married couple to enjoy conjugation is:
- During
the wife’s menstruation periods.
- Menstruation
period after child-birth.
- When
one is fasting in Ramadan (or any other month).
- When
one is in the state of ‘eteqaaf’ during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
- When
in the state of ‘ehram’ during the pilgrimage to the Sacred House.
Your Question: heard that sex is haram once your wife
completed 4 months of her pregnancy. Is it correct or not?
There is absolutely no restriction or limitation in
Shariah for a married couple if they wish to enjoy sexual relationship with
each other during the full pregnancy period of the wife, even until the moment
before the baby is delivered.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
