Is Oral Sex Between Husband and Wife Permissible in Islam?
Question
Assalamualaikum, I want to ask is it permissible to perform oral sex on my wife, where I cover her private part with cling wrap or saran wrap and make sure that absolutely no fluid gets in my mouth, and I take her consent and keep the dignity and purity intact. Can you please provide references showing its permissible or not ? Among scholars who say its not permissible, why do they say that, is it only because of impurity ? Please elaborate. JazakAllah.
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
Between husband and wife, forms of sexual enjoyment are generally permissible as long as they do not involve anything specifically prohibited by Islamic law. However, placing the mouth on the private parts and similar acts are contrary to Islamic etiquette, purity, and dignity; therefore, they should be avoided. The possibility of impure fluids entering the mouth is also an important reason why such acts are considered disliked.
Therefore, it is better and more prudent to refrain from such practices.
