Sex and bath in Ramadhan
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 comment: Is it
permissible to have sex with my wife, before 'suhoor' , after making 'Niyyat'
, to fast on the next day ? Is there any restriction regarding this ?
There is absolutely no restriction with having sex with
the wife before or after suhoor, or before or after
the neeyah of fast is taken. The restriction is only to abstain from sexual
intercourse during the actual hours of fasting.
Allah says in the Holy Quran
Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah
verse 187:It has been made lawful for you to go to
your wives during the nights of the Fast days.
They are (like) a garment to you, and you are (like) a garment to
them. Though Allah knew that you were
secretly dishonest to yourselves, He has pardoned your guilt and forgiven
you. Now, you are permitted to have
intercourse with your wives and enjoy what Allah has made lawful for you. You are also permitted to eat and drink
during the nights of the Fast months, until you discern the white streak of
dawn from the blackness of night. Then
(abstain from all these things and) complete your Fast till nightfall. But you should not have intercourse with
your wives while you confine yourselves to the mosques (when in aiteqaaf during the last 10 days of Ramadan). These are the bounds set by Allah; so do not
even go near them. In this way Allah
makes His Commands clear to mankind. It
is expected that they will attain piety.
Your comment: Is it persmissible
to take shower together with my wife in the same bathroom ?
Yes, it is permissible to take a shower with the wife in
the same bathroom. In Islam, there is absolutely no purdah
of any sort between the husband and the wife.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
