Answer:
Prophet(saws) never
saw Aisha(r.a.) wive’s private parts
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.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3123 Narrated by Aisha
"I never looked at (or, I never saw) the
private parts of Allah's Messenger (saws)."
The above quoted hadith is indeed considered authentic…..and
the absolute majority of scholars in Islam opine that the statement of Hadrat
Aisha (r.a.) does not in any way mean or imply that it is unlawful or
impermissible or forbidden or discouraged or a sin in Shariah for one to see or
touch the private parts of their spouse; for there are several other authentic
narrations from the Prophet (saws) which declare that there is absolutely no
‘satr’ between a husband and a wife united in the sacred bond of marriage in
Islam.
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 bonded in the
sacred institution of 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.
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,
