You had said before that a husband and wife can have sex naked without covering themselves. I cannot understand your reply because jinns are always around us and will they not cause any harm to us?
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:
Dear Mr. Burhan, Assalamualaikum;
6) You had said before that a husband and wife can have
sex naked without covering themselves. I
cannot understand your reply because jinns are always
around us and will they not cause any harm to us?
Regards,

Answer:
Jinns
watching 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.
My beloved brother in Islam, we must understand
that the Jinns are a complete separate creation of
Allah Subhanah,
with their own duties and responsibilities, likes and dislikes, good and
evil, etc. It is not as if the Jinns are absolutely free and have nothing to do with their
lives, except
to come and peep into the acts a human being does in his bedroom! They have been assigned their own duties and
responsibilities, just
as we human beings have been assigned duties and responsibilities by the One
Who Created everything in Existence!
And it is not proper to assume
that the Jinns would be interested in the acts a
husband and wife do in their bedrooms;
just as it would not be proper to assume that we, as human beings, are obsessed in watching or knowing how the
creation of the Jinns have sex with their wives!
Thus if one follows the guidance
of the Messenger of Allah (saws) and seeks refuge from the evil of the ‘Shayaateen Jinns’ before one
conjugates with his wife; they will Insha Allah be under the refuge and protection of Allah Subhanah.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.397 Narrated
by Ibn Abbas
The Prophet (saws)
said, "If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual intercourse with
his wife, says: 'Bismillah, Allahumma
jannibna-sh-shaitan, wa jannibi-sh-shaitan ma razaqtana,' and if the couple
are destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation), then Satan
will never be able to harm that child."
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,
