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 oral
sex prohibited in Islam and is there any surah or hadith regarding this.if some
one have the sin of adultery. will he be forgiven? if a married couple have
done oral sex. wats their way of maafii?

Answer:
Oral 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.
Your Question: is
oral sex prohibited in Islam and is there any surah or hadith regarding this.
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.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3195 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Allah
will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman through the
anus."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2157 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws) said: ‘He who has
intercourse with his wife through her anus is accursed.’
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3895 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws) said: ‘If anyone resorts
to a diviner and believes in what he says or has intercourse with his wife when
she is menstruating, or has intercourse with his wife through her anus:
he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad (saws)!’
What has been specifically
prohibited by Allah and His Messenger (saws) in regards to sex with one’s wife
is:
- Anal sex.
- Having sexual intercourse with the woman
during her menses.
As is the principle with the
concept of haraam/halaal in Islam,
everything that which is not listed as haraam will be considered as
legal for the believers.
Some scholars have voiced their
opinion against touching either of the partner’s sex organs with the
mouth. But because nothing has been
specifically mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah,
the scholars have not said it is ‘haraam’… 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 these three
prohibitions, the husband and wife in Islam have all the liberty they wish with
regard to sex in their relationship.
Your
Question: if some one have the sin of adultery. will he be forgiven?
Whatever
deeds one might have done, if one turns
to Allah Subhanah in sincere Taubah and seeks forgiveness, Allah Subhanah has promised in the Holy Quran
that He will forgive all the sins of such a believer, even if one has committed the gravest sin of
all: ‘Shirk’! Not only that, our Lord is so Merciful and Generous, that He not only will forgive the sins of the
believer, He will change his evil deeds
done into good deeds!
The conditions or ways to seek
sincere Taubah or Repentance from the Merciful Lord are:
- One is aware that he has sinned, and feels sorry and ashamed at his sin.
- Makes a solemn covenant and promise with Allah
that he will not repeat his sin again.
- Turns to Allah and seeks forgiveness, before he has met with his appointment
of death.
- Is a believer and does righteous good deeds
thereafter.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses 53-54:
(O Prophet) say: “O My
servants who have wronged their own souls….Do not despair of Allah’s
Mercy! Surely, Allah forgives all sins. He indeed is the All Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before
the scourge overtakes you; for then you
may get no help from anywhere.”
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan verse 135-136:
Allah likes such good
people very much, who, if ever they
commit a base deed or wrong their own soul by the commission of a sin, remember Allah instantly, and ask for forgiveness from Him for their
shortcomings. For who, but Allah,
can forgive sins? (And Allah
loves those) who do not knowingly persist in the wrongs they did. These will be rewarded with forgiveness from
Allah, and with Gardens beneath which
canals flow, and they will reside
therein forever! How excellent is the
reward of those who do good deeds!
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqaan verses 63-71:
The (true) servants of
the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the earth. When the ignorant people behave insolently
towards them, they say, “Peace to
you”; (And those) who pass their nights
in prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord and pray, “O our
Lord, save us from the torment of
Hell, for its torment is killing! It is an evil abode, and an evil resting place”. (And those) who, when they spend are neither extravagant, nor miserly,
but keep the golden mean between the two extremes. (And those) who do not invoke any god but
Allah Alone, nor kill a soul
unjustly, which Allah has
forbidden, nor commit ‘zina’….one
who does this shall be punished for his sin,
and his torment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrection, and he shall abide in a state of ignominy; EXCEPT THE ONE WHO MAY HAVE REPENTED (AFTER
THOSE SINS), AND HAVE BELIEVED AND DONE
RIGHTEOUS DEEDS. For then, Allah will change his evil deeds into good
deeds, and He is very Forgiving and
Merciful. In fact, one who repents and does righteous
deeds, returns to Allah as one rightly
should!
Your Question: if a
married couple have done oral sex. wats their way of maafii?
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 54:
When those come to you
who believe in Our Signs, say:
"Peace be on you! Your Lord had
inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy.
Verily if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented and
amended (his conduct), Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2357 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "He who
repents of a sin is like him who has committed no sin."
Regardless of whatever sins one might have done in one’s
past, if one turns to Allah Subhanah in Taubah and seeks sincere repentance, it
is expected that he will find his Lord Forgiving and Merciful.
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.
