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-1: ...i
really do not know wat to do...is thr anyway we can get up in
the morn ...do abulution and then pray ...after we had done intercourse
in the nite?...is thr any exception in cases like this?...or is it compulsory
to bathe b4 fajr prayer irrespective of how late we sleep...
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verse 6: O ye who believe! When ye
prepare for prayer wash your faces and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub
your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If
ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill or on a journey or one of you
cometh from offices of nature or ye have been in contact with women and ye find
no water then take for yourselves clean sand or earth and rub therewith your
faces and hands. Allah doth not wish to
place you in a difficulty but to make you clean and to complete His favor to
you that ye may be grateful.
Beloved
Sister, purifying oneself by performing a ‘ghusl’ or full bath after conjugation
is an obligatory command and condition for being able to perform the
prayers. There are no exceptions to
this command except when one is ill or traveling and cannot find water to
purify oneself; only in such situations one should purify oneself from sexual
impurity through the process of ‘tayammum’ by using pure dust.
But when
water is available, irrespective of how late one sleeps, if one is sexually
impure it is absolutely obligatory to purify oneself through ‘ghusl’ or full
bath to be able to perform the prayers.
Your Question-2: also
is oral sex permitted in islam?...or is it strictly forbidden?....
Islam has permitted
the husband and the wife bonded in the sacred institution of marriage to enjoy
each other any which way they wish, except for three restrictions:
Anal Sex Having
sexual intercourse with the wife during her period of menstruation Oral Sex.
Although
‘oral sex’, whereby one touches the spouses private parts with the mouth, is
not specifically prohibited by name in the Quran or the Sunnah; the majority of
the good scholars in Islam have voiced their opinion against this act and said
that it is unhygienic, unclean, and impure and guided the believers to fear
Allah and abstain from it.
Other
than the above three listed prohibitions, the husband and wife in Islam have
all the liberty to enjoy their conjugal relationship any which way they wish.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verses 222-223:
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 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.
223 Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will.
Your Question-3: also
id like to know how a women shud go about bathing after doing intercourse...wat
is the proper method?...and do i have to recite any prayers?b4 taking my
bath...
The process for
performing the ‘ghusl’ or full bath of purification after sexual impurity is
the same for the men and the women in Islam.
There are no specific prayers or duas one has to recite before one
starts one bath of purification, except to make intention in one’s heart for
performing the ‘ghusl’.
Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 1.58a
How ghusl is performed
According to the practice of the Prophet (saws) the correct
manner of performing ‘ghusl’ or full bath is:
Make intention in one’s heart for performing the ‘ghusl’ or full
bath of purification,
wash both hands three times,
wash ones private parts,
make a complete ablution like the one made for prayer—(the
Prophet (saws) used to delay washing
his feet until the end of his ghusl if he was using a tub),
rub water through one's hair three times, letting the water reach
down to the roots of the hair,
pour water over the entire body, begining with the right side,
then the left, washing under the armpits, inside the ears, inside the navel, inside
the toes and whatever part of the body can be easily rubbed. This account is
based on the following report from 'Aishah: "When the Prophet (saws), upon
whom be peace, took his bath after sexual intercourse, he would begin by
washing his hands. Then he would pour water from his right hand to his left and
wash his sexual organs, make the ablution for prayer, take some water and put
his fingers to the roots of his hair to the extent that he sees that the skin
is wet, then pour water over his head three times and then over the rest of his
body." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
Your Question-4: id
also like to know...is it imperative to disclose all secrets to my
husband?
There is absolutely
no obligation on the part of the husband or the wife to reveal or disclose all
their past deeds to their partners in marriage; especially if one fears that
one’s past deeds might dent the sacred relationship of marriage or sow distrust
amongst the couple. The most important
thing is to preserve and be absolutely honest to each other after one has been
bonded in the sacred institution of marriage; and if that requires one to leave
one’s past in the past, then that is exactly what one should do. When Allah Subhanah has covered His slaves
past deeds done in ignorance, it does not behove a believer to put oneself in
an unnecessary trial by himself exposing the deeds he might have done in one’s
past, thus sowing distrust and dissent in the sacred relationship of
marriage. There is absolutely nothing
in Islam that dictates or commands that the husband or the wife are obligated
to reveal or disclose everything one might have done in one’s past.
Your Question-5: i
havent talked to him since my wedding...i am happy with my husband...he is a
nice man,..mayb it was meant to be that way...and i have no intention on
cheating on my husband either...but the love i had for that boy is still deep
in my heart,,,,is this rong?
Beloved Sister in
Islam, it is only natural that when one is closely attached to someone in one’s
past, one might at times involuntary think about that person; and there is
absolutely no sin in such involuntary thoughts. If one brings these thoughts to action, and starts or initiates
something of an illicit or secret relationship with another after marriage; then
it would indeed be a grave sin in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
It would
only be best for you and your relationship with your husband, that you try to
disregard the thought of the boy you once loved in your past, and concentrate
on strengthening your relationship with your husband.
The
thoughts that involuntarily arise in your heart regarding the boy you loved in
your past would not constitute a sin; but if you took any action to further
that thought into deeds or took steps to re-ignite that relationship in any
way, it would indeed be considered a grave sin in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
Sahih Muslim Hadith 235 Narrated
by Abu Hurayrah
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said that Allah, High and Exalted
He is, Says: ‘When it occurs to my bondsman that he should do a good deed but
he actually does not do it, I record one good deed for him; but if he puts it
into practice, I make an entry of ten good acts in his favour. When it occurs to him to do evil, but he does
not commit it, I forgive that. But if he commits it, I record one evil deed
against his name.’ The Angels said:
‘That bondsman of Yours intends to commit evil, though His Lord is more
Vigilant than he.’ Upon this He (the
Lord) said: ‘Watch him; if he commits (evil), write it against his name, but if
he refrains from doing it, write one good deed for him, for he desisted from
doing it for My sake.’
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.
