Answer:
No satr in marriage
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 none 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:
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.
There is absolutely no ‘satr’ between a husband and a wife
bonded in the sacred institution of marriage in Islam; and it is absolutely
permissible for a husband and a wife to see, touch, fondle, play, and enjoy
intimacy with each other any which way they please and desire, without any
restrictions (except the three listed above) whatsoever.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.272 Narrated by Hisham bin Urwa
(on the authority of his father) that Aisha
said, "I and Allah's Messenger (saws) used to take a bath from a single
water container, from which we took water simultaneously."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.261 Narrated by Aisha
The Prophet (saws) and I used to take a bath
from a single pot of water and our hands used to go in the pot after each other
in turn.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.298 Narrated by Aisha
The Prophet (saws) and I used to take a bath
from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order me
to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and he (saws) used to fondle me.
We reiterate again that except for (1) anal sex, (2)
actual sexual intercourse during the women’s menstruation, and (3) ‘oral’ sex….there
is absolutely no restriction whatsoever between the husband and the wife
enjoying intimacy with each other in Islam.
Provided the above listed three restrictions are not violated, the
married couple may enjoy their intimacy any which way their hearts desire.
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.

well wisher in Islam,
