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:

Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak in advance. I extremely appreciate your work Jazaak Allah o Khair.

My question is:

2 months back I got married and while doing sex I am loosing the erection and even while doing intercourse I am loosing the erection and don`t know why is this happening to me. May be because of fear of how I may perform or 100% response from my partner or something else??? I don`t know, but I know I don`t have any physical problem but still something exist. So, could I ask you to please help me providing something from Quran to read and keep my mind and concentration at one place or something to read from which we can increase the sex power.

Also please advice me as per Quran or Sunnah that how many times we can perform intercourse in a day or in a week so on.. I will be very thankful to you, eagerly waiting for your answers. Jazaak Allah. Your well wisher.

Answer:

Erectile dysfunction

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.

Your Question: So, could I ask you to please help me providing something from Quran to read and keep my mind and concentration at one place or something to read from which we can increase the sex power.

Respected brother, Allah Subhanah Revealed His Glorious Book of Guidance to heal the spiritual diseases of mankind (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, etc.), and not the physical diseases. If one has a physical ailment or concern, it would be best for them to consult an expert in that particular field of medicine and seek their advice and remedy.

Your Question: Also please advice me as per Quran or Sunnah that how many times we can perform intercourse in a day or in a week so on..

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."

Related by Ahmad and Muslim.

Islam has allowed the husband and the wife in marriage every possible liberty to enjoy conjugal relations with each other, except three:

1. It is strictly prohibited to have sexual intercourse with one’s wife during her period of menstruation.
2. It is strictly prohibited to enter the woman through her anus.
3. 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 of the day or night, and any how their heart’s desire. There is absolutely no restriction in Islam regarding the maximum or minimum number of times two people who are enjoined in the sacred institution of marriage may enjoy conjugal relations with each other.

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.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
