Oral sex

Question

Is oral sex allowed in Islam, and can you give your reasoning too? Is ejaculating in the wife's mouth allowed if it brings husband pleasure, swallow, or no swallow either way. Husband and wife dispute the issue, which causes relationship problems.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

The mouth is used for the remembrance of Allah (SWT); therefore, it would be incorrect to insert the private part therein. Also, it is prohibited to consume impurity, e.g., semen; when one practices oral sex, the impurity may enter the mouth. On the basis thereof, oral sex is prohibited irrespective of whether the man ejaculates in the woman’s mouth or not. We advise the husband to seek acceptable alternatives to fulfill his desires.
