oral sex

I supported what minuteman said.

Aishah Radiallahuanha said, she never saw the private parts of Rasulullah even though she was his wife. I also read somewhere that when they had sex, they were covered with a piece of cloth.

Allah sent Rasulullah as the perfect guide to humankind. It is fitting that we should make him as the best example of a human being. How do we show our love to Rasulullah? By emulating him the best that we could.

InshaAllah.

I don't want to come off saying what is 'right' or what is 'wrong'. Sometimes with particular subjects it's a matter of our own judgement, even after we hear 'opinions', 'facts'. In the end we are faced with either following the judgement or not- it's our choice. The consquences of what we did or will do will come to surface eventually.

I would say to anyone more intested in this particular topic to not simply stop here for the answers. Do your own research on the matter. If we are ignorant in certain areas then it's nothing wrong with asking. I only suggest that whatever subject you search that the 'fact'  has a supporting ayat or hadith.

With this particular subject a 'health book' response is not sufficent. There are alot of aspects in life we can engage in that may not 'harm' us but that don't mean its 'safe' to engage in.

The matter of oral sex is not so much the phyiscal harm or effects. It's a matter of complication because it deals with cleaniness, pureness.

Here is a hadith that I found and actually there is a disagreement between the schools of thoughts on determining if semen is pure or impure based on this hadith.

The first opinion is that semen is impure and must be removed from a person�s clothing and body before that person can pray. This is the verdict of the M�lik� and Hanaf� schools of thought. It is also one of Ahmad b. Hanbal�s opinions and the preferred view of al-Shawk�n�.

They also argue that the ejaculation of semen places a person in a state of major ritual impurity whereby that person is required to take a full bath. Any substance that causes a person to enter into a state of ritual impurity if it comes out of a person�s body should be considered a physically impure substance.

The second opinion put forward by scholars about semen is that it is a pure substance. This is the position of the Sh�fi`� school of thought. It is the more accurate of the two opinions attributed to Ahmad. It is also the view held by Ahl al-Had�th and by the Z�hir� school of thought. A number of Companions held this view, as stated by al-Nawaw� in his commentary on Sah�h Muslim. It is also the preferred opinion of Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn al-Qayy�m, al-San`�n�, and others.

They cite the had�th of `A�ishah that is under discussion, where she says that she rubbed or scraped the semen off his clothing and he would pray in it. They argue that if semen were impure, it would not be sufficient to merely rub or scrape it off. Even after it had dried, merely scraping it off would not remove the semen that had been absorbed by the fibers of the clothing. Therefore, scraping it off when it is dry � and likewise washing it off while it is still moist � must be merely a preferable act of cleanliness and not a required act of purification.

Ibn Khuzaymah also cites the had�th of `’ishah as proof that semen is a pure substance. He writes: �If something is impure, scratching it off of clothing without washing it will not be sufficient for its removal. The fact that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed in a garment from which dry semen was merely scratched off is sufficient proof that semen is not something impure.� [Sah�h Ibn Khuzaymah (1/145-147)]

So even the scholars differ....( from how I read it.)

no matter how you look at it though, the prophet Mohammed (p.b.u.h)  did not perform any religious acts while being 'soiled' with semen.

Me personally, I want to be clean regardless if i'm performing a salat, reading the Quran or not. If i'm in a sexual act and semen gets on my body then, yes I can perform wudu/ghursl afterwards.

But what can be done once it's swallowed?? Ok, you could rinse your mouth out, but what about whats actually goes beyond the throat?? ( sorry for going into detail, but we are all adults here- my intentions are not to offend anyone and right now I'm speaking on simply matter of opinion.)

I guess one can say, well semen goes inside a womans body through the vagina?! but this to me is a more nature act, it is required to reproduce. Also if a woman chooses to she can douche afterwards to clean her 'insides'.

salaam.

Nur chill out. You are obviously overdoing it here. The reason we are talking about sex is the quite obviously the title of the thread.

 I agree somewhat with layalee's interpretation.

I have to disagree with the scholar interpretation: Semen is not a "dirty" substance. First we need to understand what we mjind by dirty and second unless it contains a viral infection it cannot be labeled other than being called a "substance." Now in maintain hygeine before prayer I agree that we need to cleanse ourselves after every sexual act as our bodies not only excrete seminal (and vaginal) fluids but also sweat, heat, and gases. Oral sex may not be what we consider "natural intercourse" it is more so aligned with being another form of pleasure.

Well, this topic and the replies go backwards and forwards.

Sex is not disgusting. The only sexual act not permitted in Islam is anal sex. Everything else is allowed.

As to whether sisters like to perform oral sex on their husband is an entirely different issue. But one thing I will say sisters, is that all men like women to perform oral sex on them. That goes for muslim husbands too. The man however does not always like to return the favour. Strange but true.

Nur_Ilahi, you said that sex is a pleasurable act, that you personally find oral sex disgusting. That is your choice. Are you married? If not then you might change your view on this one day. You also posted that men should look up to the Prophet Muhammed(pbuH). I totally agree, but how do you know what sexual act took place between our beloved Prophet and his wives(peace be upon them all)?

I have total love and respect for the Prophet Muhammed(pbuH), dont anyone suggest I feel otherwise, but this topic if it is to be discussed, should include all men, even our dear Prophet. If you dont agree, then really this topic should not be discussed at all. He was a man after all,a very busy man. Can anyone imagine how difficult it might have been for him to satisfy his wives?

Lust/passion/desire-nothing wrong with it in the boundaries of a marriage. We are human beings, and as such courtship and sexual intimacy is extremely important. If it were not so, then we would be like the animals where no feelings take place. For them it is only an act to reproduce. Allah gave us these passions to use in the correct manner.

Personally I think there are a lot of naive women in the world.
