Consequences of a Muslim Identifying as a Non-Muslim in Jest or Otherwise

Consequences of a Muslim Identifying as a Non-Muslim in Jest or Otherwise

Question: What if a Muslim said jokingly or knowingly that I'm a Hindu, Yahudi, Christian etc or a Kaafir/non Muslim? Kisi Musalman ka mazaq me ya kisi tarah khud ko Hindu, Yahudi, Eisayi waghaira ya kaafir kehna? किसी मुस्लमान का मज़ाक़ में या किसी तरह ख़ुद को हिंदू, यहूदी, ईसाई वग़ैरह या काफ़िर कहना?

Answer by Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barkati

Understanding the Consequences of a Muslim Identifying as a Non-Muslim in Jest or Otherwise

In the realm of Islamic teachings, words hold profound significance, especially when they pertain to one's faith. A question arises: What are the implications for a Muslim who, jokingly or under any circumstance, claims to be a Hindu, Christian, Jew, or a non-Muslim (Kaafir)? This issue is not just a matter of casual conversation but one that holds considerable weight in Islamic jurisprudence.

The Gravity of the Matter:

It's crucial to understand that in Islam, the declaration of faith (Shahada) is the cornerstone of a Muslim's identity. When a Muslim, in full awareness and sound state of mind, declares themselves as a non-Muslim, it is a matter of serious concern. Whether said in jest, anger, or any other emotion, the implications are severe.

Reaffirming Faith and Repentance:

For an individual who has fallen into this situation, the path to return involves sincere repentance (Tawba) and the redeclaration of the Shahada to re-enter the fold of Islam. If married, they must also renew their marriage contract, as apostasy affects the validity of the marital bond in Islam.

Islamic Jurisprudence on the Issue:

Referencing key Islamic books such as "KITAB AL BAHRUR RAIQ" Volume Number 5, Safa Number 133 and "Fatawa Alamgiri"  Volume 2 Safa 279, the rulings from prominent Islamic scholars, the gravity of this act is evident. In "KITAB AL BAHRUR RAIQ", it is mentioned that a person declaring themselves as non-Muslim, even in jest, is considered to have left the fold of Islam. This act, known as apostasy, requires the individual to reaffirm their faith in Islam. (For more details, Refer the below Video by Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barkati)


The issue of a Muslim identifying as a non-Muslim, whether in jest or seriousness, is not to be taken lightly. It's a matter that directly impacts one's faith and standing in the Islamic community. This blog post aims to enlighten and remind Muslims of the weight of their words and the importance of maintaining their identity in faith, even in casual or emotional moments.

For those seeking further guidance or have questions about this topic, consulting knowledgeable Islamic scholars or reaching out to reliable Islamic jurisprudence resources is highly recommended.

Jumma ki Namaz ki Rakat kitni hoti Hai | Sunnat Rakats in Jumma Prayer

Jumma ki Namaz ki Rakat kitni hoti Hai | Sunnat Rakats in Jumma Prayer

 How many Sunnat rakats should be performed in Jumu'ah prayers? Jumma ki Namaz ki Rakat kitni hoti Hai? Understanding Sunnat Rakats in Jumu'ah Prayers: A Comprehensive Islamic Perspective



As-salamu alaykum to all readers seeking deeper understanding of our cherished rituals in Islam. Today, we delve into an important aspect of Jumu'ah prayers - the Sunnat rakats. A question often arises in the minds of many devout Muslims: How many Sunnat rakats should be performed in Jumu'ah prayers? Jumma ki Namaz ki Rakat kitni hoti Hai? This blog post aims to shed light on this topic, drawing from scholarly sources and interpretations within Islamic jurisprudence.



The Significance of Jumu'ah

Jumu'ah, the Friday prayer, holds a special place in the heart of Islamic worship. It's not just a prayer; it's a weekly spiritual assembly for Muslims, fostering community bonds and reinforcing their faith. The Khutbah (sermon) preceding the prayer is a time for spiritual guidance, while the prayer itself is a moment of collective worship and reflection.

The Number of Sunnat Rakats in Jumu'ah

In the structure of Jumu'ah prayers, Sunnat rakats play a crucial role. The total number of rakats in the Jumu'ah prayer is 14. This includes the obligatory Fard rakats and the Sunnat rakats. The Sunnat rakats are divided into those performed before and after the Fard prayer, reflecting their significance in the Islamic tradition.

Detailed Breakdown of the Rakats

A breakdown of the 14 rakats reveals a structured approach to Jumu'ah prayers:

- Four Sunnat rakats before the Fard prayer

- Two Fard rakats (the obligatory Jumu'ah prayer)

- Four Sunnat rakats after the Fard prayer

- Additional two Sunnat rakats before the four pre-Fard Sunnat rakats

- Two Nafil rakats (optional but recommended) 

This structure underscores the importance of Sunnat rakats in complementing the obligatory aspects of the prayer.

Insights from Fatawa Razwiya

Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat Ala Hazrat Shah Ahmad Raza Khan, in his authoritative text "Fatawa Razwiya", highlights the significance of these Sunnat rakats. His interpretations, rooted in the Hanafi school of thought, emphasize the importance of performing these Sunnat rakats, especially those after the Jumu'ah Fard prayer.

The Significance of Adhering to Sunnat Rakats

Adhering to the Sunnat rakats is not merely a ritualistic practice but a reflection of a devout Muslim's commitment to following the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) teachings. These Sunnat rakats represent an opportunity to deepen one's spiritual connection and seek additional blessings.

The Importance of Sunnat Rakats

The Sunnat rakats in Jumu'ah prayers hold immense spiritual value. They are seen as a way to emulate the Prophet's practice and to seek closeness to Allah. Neglecting these rakats without a valid reason is viewed as a deviation from the Prophet's teachings.

Prophetic Teachings on Sunnat Rakats with Hadith Reference

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Whoever omits my Sunnah is not from me." (Sahih Bukhari and Muslim). This Hadith underlines the importance of adhering to the Sunnah, including the Sunnat rakats in Jumu'ah prayers. It serves as a stark reminder of the significance of these practices in the Islamic faith.

The teachings of Islam underscore the importance of not just the obligatory aspects of worship but also the Sunnat practices. The Sunnat rakats in Jumu'ah prayers are not just ritualistic acts; they are deeply rooted in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and carry significant spiritual value. Adhering to these practices is a reflection of our commitment to the teachings of Islam and a path to spiritual enrichment.

How Many Wives in Jannat for Multiple Marriages

How Many Wives in Jannat for Multiple Marriages

How many wives will men get in Jannat, and will they get worldly wives in Janat as well? What will women get in Jannat?

Question:
By: Shadab Husain Ashrafi Sahab from Durg, Chhattisgarh

I have heard that in paradise, every person will have two wives: one with whom they were married in the world and another heavenly one. The question is, for those who marry more than once, how many wives will they have in paradise?"

Answered By Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barkaati

Firstly, the idea that one receives only two wives in paradise is an incomplete picture. Islamic scriptures suggest a far more expansive scenario. For instance, it's stated that in paradise, a person will have at least 72 wives, according to some interpretations. This includes the ‘hoors’, heavenly beings superior and more special than others. These are in addition to the wives one had in the worldly life. The Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 25, talks of gardens under which rivers flow, fruits reminiscent of those on earth, and purified spouses for the righteous, eternal residents of these gardens.

In Quran, Surah Al-Imran, verse 15, states: "Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ 'Shall I inform you of what is better than all of this? For those mindful of Allah, there will be Gardens with their Lord beneath which rivers flow, where they will remain forever, and pure spouses, along with Allah’s pleasure.' And Allah is All-Seeing of His servants."

In various Hadiths, including those in Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and Bukhari Sharif, paradise is depicted as a place where each person will have 80,000 servants and 72 wives. The residents of paradise will shine with the luminosity of the full moon or a bright star. Unity and harmony will prevail, with no discord. Moreover, it's mentioned that the physical beauty of these wives will be such that even through 70 layers of clothing, the marrow of their bones will be visible, akin to a mixture seen in a white bottle.

The scenario regarding women with multiple marriages is nuanced. If both husbands are in paradise, she will be with them. If her husband passes away and she remarries, and both are in paradise, she can choose her companion. If a woman hasn’t married in this world, she will be wed to a man in paradise. It's narrated that in paradise, a woman will be with her last husband. Another interpretation suggests she will choose the husband who was kindest to her on earth.

Furthermore, the Hadiths state that the inhabitants of paradise will have united hearts, ensuring a harmonious existence. In situations where a spouse is not initially in paradise, intercessions and Allah's mercy can alter this, highlighting the fulfillment of desires in the afterlife.

In conclusion, Islamic teachings present a multifaceted view of marriage in paradise, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. These narrations and Quranic verses aim to provide believers with a glimpse of the rewards awaiting them, encouraging righteous living in the worldly life. 



Hindi Translation:

Sawal: Maine suna hai jannat mein har shakhs ki do biwiyan hogi ek vah jise duniya mein nikah hua aur doosri jannati. Sawal yah hai ki jo shakhs ek se zyada nikah karta hai usse jannat mein kitni biwiyan milengi? 

Jawab: Dekhiye, pehli baat to yah hai ki jannat mein do biwiyan milengi, yeh baat adhuri hai. Jannat mein ek nahi balki kam se kam 72 biwiyan yahan milengi. Kuch riwayat mein zyada ka zikr hai aur sabse pehle jannat mein jane walon ko inke alawa kam se kam do biwiyan, yani do puri aisi milengi jo baki biwiyon, yani hooron se zyada khaas aur behtar hongi aur duniya ki biwiyan inke alawa hongi.

Qurane Kareem ke Part Number 1 mein Surah Bakarah ki Ayat Number 25 mein Allah Ta'ala ka irshad hai: Pyare Nabi, khushkhabri de unhe jo imaan laye aur acche kaam kiye ki unke liye baghaat hai jinke neeche nadiyan bah rahi hain. Jab unhe un baghon mein se koi phal khane ko diya jayega, soorat dekhkar kahenge yeh to wahi rizq hai jo humein pehle mila tha, halanki woh sirf soorat mein milta julta unhe diya gaya aur unke liye un baghon mein sutri pak biwiyan hain aur woh unme hamesha rahenge.

Can We Follow the Imam's Voice Through a Loudspeaker (Mic)?

Can We Follow the Imam's Voice Through a Loudspeaker (Mic)?

🚦लाउड स्पीकर (माइक 🎤) की आवाज़ पर नमाज़ पढ़ना?🚦Can We Follow the Imam's Voice Through a Loudspeaker (Mic 🎤) in Namaz? Exploring the intricate question of following the Imam's voice via loudspeaker (mic 🎤) in Namaaz - A comprehensive insight.


In the modern era, the use of technology in religious practices has been a matter of scholarly debate. A pertinent question that has arisen among Islamists is the legality of using loudspeakers for namaz (prayer). This article explores this complex issue in depth through an analysis of respected Muslim scholars.

The main question

The crux of the debate centers on whether it is permissible for an imam to use a loudspeaker during prayer. Although loudspeakers are commonly used for sermons (khutbas) and lectures, their use during actual prayers raises theological questions.

Opinion of leading scholars

Respected Islamic scholars have expressed different views on this issue. This question was brought to light by Israr Khan Sahib of Delhi and discussed by Mufti Mohammad Shahid Barkati of Meerut. According to Islamic law, the use of loudspeakers is considered permissible by many scholars, while others accept it.

Arguments against loudspeakers

The main argument against using a loudspeaker is that the voice generated is not the actual voice of the person speaking. It is seen as an analogy and therefore does not comply with the Shariah requirements for voice in prayer. Eminent scholars like Shehazade Ala Hazrat Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind Hazrat Allama Mustafa Raza Khan Sahib, Allama Mufti Hashmat Ali Lucknow, Fakir Azam-e-Hindi Sadrusharia Allama Mufti Amjad Ali Azmi, and others have expressed their concerns on the matter.

The importance of authenticity

These scholars emphasize the importance of sincerity in prayer. It is argued that just as the combined voice as heard from a mountain or forest is not considered equivalent to the original voice, the voice from a speaker is not considered as the true voice of the imam and this difference affects the integrity of the prayer .

Recommendations for Worship

Where a loudspeaker is considered necessary, these scholars advise arranging for a deputy (mukabbir) to assist the imam. Ministers are instructed to trust the voice itself

Imam and deputy, not amplified sounds from loudspeakers. This proposal aims to preserve the purity and authenticity of the prayer experience.

Historical context and judgment

The argument is not just contemporary; It has historical roots. The scholar Kamaluddin Ibn Hammam, who died in 861 AH (1457 A.D.), mentioned such matters in his writings. He pointed out that a verse in the Quran requiring prostration, if heard in a resounding voice, does not make prostration obligatory. This historical perspective reinforces the distinction between direct and indirect tone (or repetition) in Islamic jurisprudence.

A practical explanation of prayer

According to scholars against the use of loudspeakers, relying on the wrong voice during prayer invalidates prayer. It is compared to other external aids, such as reciting the Qur’an from a book or a wall while praying, which are also considered invalid

A balance of tradition and modernity

The discussion highlights the broader challenge facing the religious community today: balancing tradition and modernity. While loudspeakers and other technological developments can deliver religious messages in the long run, they also raise questions about adherence to traditional practices and interpretations

As technology continues to advance, such dialogue is essential to maintain the integrity of religious practices. The perspectives of these scholars provide valuable insights for Muslims grappling with these complex issues, emphasizing the need for a careful balance between innovation and tradition.

Nafil Namaz on Fridays of Rajab Month

Nafil Namaz on Fridays of Rajab Month

Nafil Namaz on Fridays of Rajab Month

During the month of Rajab, there's a special Friday night namaz. It involves a voluntary prayer,(Nafil Namaz), to be prayed after the Isha Namaz. This ritual is about seeking God's blessings and making personal wishes come true.



Here's how the Nafil Namaz is done: It has two parts, or Rak'ahs. In the first part, worshippers recite Surah Al-Fatiha and then the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, from 'Amana Rasul' to 'Al-Kafirun', seven times. These lines are about deep faith and asking for God's forgiveness and help.

The second part starts the same with Surah Al-Fatiha, and then goes on to the last verse of Surah Al-Hashr, repeated seven times. These lines praise Allah's power and kindness.

2 Rak'ahs of Nafil Salah on Friday Night after Isha Namaz

1) In the first Rak'ah, recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by the last part of Surah Al-Baqarah, from 'Amana Rasul' to 'Kafirun', 7 times.

2:285: Aamanar-Rasoolu bimaaa unzila ilaihi mir-Rabbihee walmu'minoon; kullun aamana billaahi wa Malaaa'ikathihee wa Kutubhihee wa Rusulihee laa nufarriqu baina ahadim-mir-Rusulih wa qaaloo sami'naa wa ata'naa ghufraanaka Rabbanaa wa ilaikal-maseer

2:286: Laa yukalliful-laahu nafsan illaa wus'ahaa; lahaa maa kasabat wa 'alaihaa maktasabat; Rabbanaa laa tu'aakhiznaaa in naseenaaa aw akhtaanaa; Rabbanaa wa laa tahmil-'alainaaa isran kamaa hamaltahoo 'alal-lazeena min qablinaa; Rabbanaa wa laa tuhammilnaa maa laa taaqata lanaa bih; wa'fu 'annaa waghfir lanaa warhamnaa; Anta mawlaanaa fansurnaa 'alal qawmil kaafireen 

2) In the second Rak'ah, after Surah Al-Fatiha, recite the last verse of Surah Al-Hashr, from 'Huwallahu Al-Ladhi' to 'Hajeem', 7 times. 

59:22: Huwal-laahul-lazee laaa Ilaaha illaa Huwa 'Aalimul Ghaibi wash-shahaada; Huwar Rahmaanur-Raheem

59:23: Huwal-laahul-lazee laaa Ilaaha illaa Huwal-Malikul Quddoosus-Salaamul Muminul Muhaiminul-'aAzeezul Jabbaarul-Mutakabbir; Subhaanal laahi 'Ammaa yushrikoon

59:24: Huwal Laahul Khaaliqul Baari 'ul Musawwir; lahul Asmaaa'ul Husnaa; yusabbihu lahoo maa fis samaawaati wal ardi wa Huwal 'Azeezul Hakeem

After finishing with Salam, Pray (Dua) for what you deeply wish for. This Nafil Namaz on Rajab Fridays is valued for its spiritual benefits and is thought to be very good for making wishes come true. It represents a Muslim's ongoing journey to connect with the divine and the hope of having prayers answered.

4 Rak'ahs of Nafil Salah on First Friday between Zohar and Asr

In the month of Rajab, on the first Friday between the Zohar and Asr prayers, perform a 4-rakat namaz with one salam.

In each Rak'ah, after Surah Al-Fatiha, recite Ayatul Kursi (7 times) and Surah Ikhlas (5 times).

After the Salam, recite the following dua 25 times:

La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billahil Kabiril Mutaali.

Then, say Istighfar 100 times:

Astaghfirullah Al-Lazi La Ilaha Illa Huwal Hayyul Qayyum, Gaffaru Zunubi Wa Satarul Uyubi Wa Atubu Ilaihi.

Following this, recite Darood Sharif 100 times and pray for all your good wishes, and the betterment of life here and in the hereafter. Insha'Allah, all your prayers will be fulfilled.

Allahumma Salli Ala Muhammadin Nabiyyil Ummi Yi Wa Aalihi Wa Barik Wa Sallim.

“O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad, our chief the unlettered Apostle and his Family Thy favours and thy Salutations”.

Understanding Intimacy and Sex Positions within Islamic Guidelines

Understanding Intimacy and Sex Positions within Islamic Guidelines

In Islam, when a married couple decides how to physically position themselves during intimacy, they have a wide range of choices. Are oral sex and foreplay allowed in Islam? The key rule is that they must mutually agree on the position, and it should be vaginal, not anal intercourse, as the latter is strictly prohibited.



Different couples may find different positions more comfortable and enjoyable. It's completely up to the couple to choose the position that brings them the most physical comfort, satisfaction, and joy.

"Your wives are a tilth for you; so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus) when or
how you will..." (V.2:223)

The Quran says: "Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves." (Quran 2:223) This verse uses the term ‘harth’ or 'place of cultivation' to describe wives, emphasizing that sexual relations should be vaginal to allow for the possibility of conception. However, the verse indicates that any position, whether from the front, back, or even with the wife facing down, is permissible.

4526. Narrated Nãfi': Whenever Ibn 'Umar i recited the Qur'an, he would not speak to anyone till he had finished his recitation. Once I held the Qur'an and he recited Surat Al-Ba qarah from his memory and then stopped at a certain Verse and said, "Do you know in what connection this Verse was revealed?" I replied, "No." He said, "It was revealed in
such and such connection."

4527. Ibn 'Umar then resumed his recitation. Näfi' added regarding the Verse:
"...So go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus) when or how you will..."
Ibn 'Umar said, "It means one should approach his wife in.. (1) 

4528. Narrated Jabir i : Jews used to say, "If one has sexual intercourse with his wife from the back, then she will deliver a squint-eyed child." So this Verse was revealed:
"Your wives are a tilth for you; so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus) when or how you
will.....(V.2:223)

There are many hadiths that explain this verse. For example, Jabir ibn Abdillah reported that Jews believed a child would be cross-eyed if a man approached his wife from behind, leading to the revelation of the verse to clarify the permissible ways. 'Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated that 'Umar worried he had done something wrong by being intimate with his wife in a different position, but the Prophet clarified that any approach is allowed as long as it avoids anal intercourse and intercourse during menstruation.

The Islamic perspective on sexual positions, highlights an important aspect of marital relationships in Islam - the balance between personal freedom and adherence to religious guidelines. In Islam, the marital relationship is considered sacred, and sexual relations between spouses are seen as an important part of marital life. The teachings emphasize mutual respect, consent, and consideration of each other's comfort and pleasure.

Sex position banned in Islam


In Islam, there is one clear rule about intimacy between married couples: anal intercourse is strictly forbidden. This is based on Islamic teachings which emphasize respect and care in marital relationships. The prohibition is in place to ensure both physical and moral well-being within marriage.

"Your wives are a tilth for you; so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus) when or
how you will..." (V.2:223)

The Quran and Hadith, which are the primary sources of Islamic law and guidance, do not support anal intercourse. This practice is seen as harmful and disrespectful, and thus, is completely off-limits for Muslim couples.


Key Points On Sex position from Islamic Perspective:

1. Mutual Consent and Comfort:

   - Islam encourages spouses to consider each other's comfort and satisfaction in their sexual relationship. This includes choosing sexual positions that are mutually agreeable and comfortable.

2. Emphasis on Vaginal Intercourse:

   - As highlighted in the Quranic verse (Qur'an 2:223), the analogy of 'tillage' signifies the permissibility and focus on vaginal intercourse, primarily for procreation but also for marital bonding and pleasure.

3. Variety in Sexual Positions:

   - The reference to different positions or sides being permissible indicates a flexibility in the sexual life of a married couple, as long as it adheres to the overall guidelines.

4. Consideration of Health and Well-being:

   - Any chosen method or position should not harm either spouse physically or emotionally. The emphasis is on a healthy and fulfilling marital relationship.

5. Avoidance During Menstruation:

   - Sexual intercourse during menstruation is prohibited in Islam, aligning with the emphasis on cleanliness and health.

In modern times, these teachings continue to guide Muslim couples in balancing their personal preferences with religious guidelines. The emphasis remains on mutual respect, consent, and adhering to Islamic principles.

Islam provides guidance on sexual relations within marriage, emphasizing mutual satisfaction and comfort while adhering to specific religious prohibitions. This approach aims to foster a healthy, respectful, and fulfilling marital relationship.

In Hindi

इस्लाम में, जब विवाहित जोड़ा यौन संबंधों के दौरान खुद को कैसे स्थान देता है, उनके पास चुनने के लिए कई तरीके होते हैं। मुख्य नियम यह है कि उन्हें सहमति से किसी भी स्थिति का चुनाव करना चाहिए, और यह योनि मैथुन होना चाहिए, गुदा मैथुन नहीं, क्योंकि बाद वाला सख्ती से मना है।

अलग-अलग जोड़े को विभिन्न स्थितियां अधिक सुविधाजनक और आनंददायक लग सकती हैं। यह पूरी तरह से जोड़े पर निर्भर है कि वे कौन सी स्थिति चुनते हैं जो उन्हें सबसे अधिक शारीरिक सुविधा, संतोष और आनंद देती है।

कुरान कहता है: "तुम्हारी पत्नियां तुम्हारे लिए खेती हैं; तो अपनी खेती में जैसे चाहो वैसे आओ (अपनी पत्नियों से किसी भी तरह के यौन संबंध रखो बशर्ते यह योनि में हो और गुदा में न हो) जब या जैसे चाहो..." (V.2:223)

इस आयत में 'हर्थ' या 'खेती की जगह' शब्द का उपयोग पत्नियों का वर्णन करने के लिए किया गया है, जो यह बल देता है कि यौन संबंध योनि में होने चाहिए ताकि संभावना हो कि वह गर्भधारण कर सके। हालांकि, आयत यह दर्शाती है कि किसी भी स्थिति में, चाहे आगे से, पीछे से या यहां तक कि पत्नी के नीचे की ओर मुख करके, स्वीकार्य है।

जाबिर इब्न अब्दुल्लाह ने बताया कि यहूदी मानते थे कि अगर कोई व्यक्ति अपनी पत्नी के पीछे से संभोग करता है, तो उसके बच्चे भेंगे पैदा होंगे। इसलिए इस आयत का प्रकटन हुआ था ताकि स्वीकार्य तरीकों को स्पष्ट किया जा सके। 'अब्दुल्लाह इब्न अब्बास ने बताया कि 'उमर को लगा कि उन्होंने अपनी पत्नी के साथ अलग स्थिति में संभोग करके कुछ गलत किया है, लेकिन पैगंबर ने स्पष्ट किया कि किसी भी तरह से संपर्क करना तब तक अनुमत है जब तक यह गुदा मैथुन और मासिक धर्म के दौरान संभोग से बचता है।

इस्लामी दृष्टिकोण से यौन संबंधों की स्थिति, इस्लाम में वैवाहिक संबंधों के महत्वपूर्ण पहलू को उजागर करती है - व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता और धार्मिक दिशा-निर्देशों के पालन के बीच संतुलन। इस्लाम में, वैवाहिक संबंध को पवित्र माना जाता है, और पति-पत्नी के बीच के यौन संबंधों को वैवाहिक जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा माना जाता है। इसकी शिक्षाएं पारस्परिक सम्मान, सहमति और एक-दूसरे के आराम और खुशी का विचार करने पर जोर देती हैं।

इस्लाम में यौन स्थिति का निषेध | Sex Positions Banned In Islam (hindi)


इस्लाम में विवाहित जोड़ों के बीच यौन संबंधों के बारे में एक स्पष्ट नियम है: गुदा मैथुन सख्ती से मना है। यह नियम इस्लामी शिक्षाओं पर आधारित है जो वैवाहिक संबंधों में सम्मान और देखभाल पर जोर देती हैं। यह निषेध विवाह के भीतर शारीरिक और नैतिक कल्याण को सुनिश्चित करने के लिए है।

"तुम्हारी पत्नियां तुम्हारे लिए खेती हैं; तो अपनी खेती में जैसे चाहो वैसे आओ (अपनी पत्नियों से किसी भी तरह के यौन संबंध रखो बशर्ते यह योनि में हो और गुदा में न हो) जब या जैसे चाहो..." (V.2:223)

कुरान और हदीस, जो इस्लामी कानून और मार्गदर्शन के प्राथमिक स्रोत हैं, गुदा मैथुन का समर्थन नहीं करते हैं। यह प्रथा हानिकारक और असम्मानजनक मानी जाती है, और इसलिए, यह मुस्लिम जोड़ों के लिए पूरी तरह से निषिद्ध है।
