Answer:
Sexual liberty
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.
Allah Says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 223: Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or
how ye will.
Abu Dhar
al-Ghafari reported: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “there is a reward
for you [even] in sex with your wife."’ The companions asked: ‘O Messenger
of Allah (saws) is there a reward if one satisfies his passion?" He (saws)
said: "Do you know that if he satisfies it unlawfully he has taken a sin
upon himself? Likewise, if he satisfies
it lawfully, he is rewarded."

Islam has allowed the
husband and the wife in marriage every possible liberty to enjoy conjugal
relations with each other, except three:
It is strictly
prohibited to have sexual intercourse with one’s wife during her period of
menstruation.
It is strictly
prohibited to enter the woman through her anus.
Although there is no
specific prohibition mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, the majority of the
scholars in Islam have voiced their opinion against ‘oral’ sex, whereby one
touches the other’s private organs with their mouth.
Other than the above
three restrictions, one may enjoy conjugal relations with one’s wife any place,
any time, and any how their heart’s desire.
Q-1: What are the positions and ways of having sex are
legal in islam?
Q-4: I came to know some positions are not accepted in our islam, what are
they?
My beloved brother,
provided the above listed three conditions are not violated, the husband and
the wife can enjoy their conjugal relations with each other in any position
they wish…standing, sitting, lying down, on the sides, on one leg, in the
air….any possible position they can imagine or desire….there is absolutely no
restriction, nor prohibition regarding positions and ways of intercourse
between a husband and a wife in their sacred union of marriage.
Q-2. Why should i should not touch my partner in periods?
Allah Says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 222: They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution; so keep
away from women in their courses and do not approach them (intercourse) until
they are clean. But when they have
purified themselves ye may approach them in any manner time or place ordained
for you by Allah. For Allah loves those
who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and
clean.
Allah Subhanah has
Commanded the believers to abstain from having the actual act of intercourse
with their wives while they are in the state of menses or periods.
There is absolutely no
prohibition in the husband touching their wife during her condition of menses;
the only place prohibited for the husband to touch or approach is the sexual
organ of his wife…other than this one organ, there is absolutely no harm or
prohibition in touching, playing or enjoying their relations with their wives.
Q-3: If i can Touch her, and i can do anything except
INTER COURSE?
The
Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "Do everything (during the woman’s
menstruation) except intercourse."
Related by
Muslim, Tirmidhi, and Abu Dawood.
The Messenger of Allah
(saws) permitted the believers to do ‘everything’ except the actual act of
sexual intercourse with their wives while they are in their state of
menses.

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.
