Dua before having Sex

  • بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا‏

Pull out method

When a man withdraws before ejaculation, it is called the pull-out method or Azl which is permitted in Islam.

Jabir رضي الله عنه said: We used to practice Azl while the Qur’an was revealed (during the days when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was alive).

When is Ghusl required?

Islam requires Husband and wife to perform Ghusl after their bed relation in the following cases;

Haram 1: Sex through Anus

The first Haram thing in a husband/wife bed relation in Islam is sex through Anus. There is a consensus on this topic by all sects of Islam that this is a prohibited act in Islam. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said;

Haram 2: During Menstrual Cycle

It is also Haram for husband and wife to have sex during the women’s menstrual cycle and during her postpartum bleeding as per Islam.

Muslim husband and wife can actually kiss each other, hold hands and make love in every possible way but cannot have sexual intercourse. – Sunan Ibn Majah 644

Haram 3: Being Vulgar/Filthy

Islam also requires husband and wife to maintain a relationship of dignity in the bed even during sex. Muslim husband and wife cannot use bad words, call names or curse each other during intimacy.

Again coming to the concept of filthiness, there are certain products used in the western culture that are filthy and unhygienic and thereby shall not be used by Muslims.

Haram 4: Be Wasteful

Whatever you use during sex, you should not waste it. For instance, we are allowed to use food during sex but the food shall be for consuming purposes. We talk about chocolate sauce and whip cream: you can use them to eat them and shall not waste them.
