Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 222:They ask
you about the (women?s) monthly courses. Say, ?It is a state of
impurity; so keep apart from the women during their monthly courses and
do not approach them until they are clean. When they have cleansed
themselves, _then you may go to them in the manner ordained for you by
Allah._ Most surely Allah loves those people who refrain from evil and
keep themselves pure and clean.
What we can do for you here, without going into too much detail, is
list the few things that are forbidden. As is the principle with the
concept of haraam in Islam, everything that which is not listed as
haraam is considered legal for us.
1. Anal sex.
2. Having sexual intercourse with the woman during her menses.
Some scholars have also voiced their opinion against touching either of
the partner?s sex organs with the mouth, in the aftermath of the Monica
Lewinsky/Bill Clinton scandal. But because nothing is mentioned in
the Quran and Sunnah, the scholars have not said it is forbidden? The
most they have said is that one should fear Allah and stay away from
this act as it is considered impure, unclean and unhealthy.
Other than this, the husband and wife have all the liberty with
regarding to sex in their relationship.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said that one should not be ashamed to ask
anything in Islam in search for more knowledge. Rather than list all
the things which are allowed, we will try to clear a few misconception
which are commonly held. If other than these, you have any particular
questions or doubts regarding the sexual relationship between husband
and wife, you are welcome to write back to us, and we will try our
best to answer them to the best of our ability.
Please note again, that other than the above three things mentioned as
forbidden, the partners have all the liberty in regards to sex.
