Having
sexual intercourse with the wife whilst she is pregnant
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is it permissible to have sexual intercourse with the wife
whilst she is pregnant? And is there any evidence in the Qur.aan
and the Sunnah
which indicates a permissibility or impermissibility for this?
Response:
It is permissible for the man to have sexual iintercourse
with his wife whilst she is pregnant, as Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala)
says:
{Your
wives are a tilth for you...}, [Soorah
al-Baqarah, Aayah
223]
And
the evidence is His (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala)
saying:
{And
those who guard their chastity. Except from their wives or
that their right hands possess...}, [Soorah
al-Mu.minoon, Aayah
5-6]
So
the statement {Except from their
wives} implies the basis for a man seeking satisfaction
from his wife is permissible in all cases. However, that which
occurs in the Qur.aan and the Sunnah in terms of an obligation
to keep away from the woman is a general prohibition, so it
is not necessary to seek evidence as to the permissibility
of sexual intercourse with a pregnant wife, since the basis
is permissibility.
And
it is not permissible for a man to have sexual intercourse
with his wife via her vagina when she is on her menses,
however, it is (permissible) for him to seek enjoyment with
her in everything other than the vagina.
And
it is not permissibile for him to penetrate her in her anus
because that is the place of excrement and filth.
And
it is not permissible for him to have sexual intercourse with
her if she is in the state of post partum bleeding. However,
if she is in a state of purity from her menses and post partum
bleeding, then it is (permissible) for him to have sexual
intercourse with her, even if she becomes pure from her post
partum bleeding before the completion of 40 days.
