Answer ID: 450
Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 320=291/N)
(1) This act is similar to the act of animals and is against human nature, which is undesirable and disliked:
اذا ادخل الرجل ذکرہ في فم امراتہ فقد قیل یکرہ و قد قیل بخلافہ (عالمگیری، 5/374)
(2) One should not suck the breast of his wife, because the milk may go inside the mouth. The milk of a woman is haram for everyone except for a child. But, if a husband swallows it mistakenly it will not have any bad effect on Nikah:
ولم یبح الارضاع بعد مدتہ لانہ جزء آدمي والانتفاع بہ لغیر ضرورة حرام علی الصحیح (الدر المختار، 4/397، ط زکریا، دیوبند)
(3) Ghusl (taking bath) will not be obligatory only by touching of sensitive organs until the glans (the head of the penis) enters the vagina:
وفرض الغسل ۔۔۔ عند ایلاج الحشفة ھی مافوق الختان زاد الزیلعی من راس الذکر الخ (الدر المختار، 1/298، ط زکریا، دیوبند)
(4) Performing two rakat prayers before every intercourse is neither necessary nor it is proved. It is good if anyone offers it, but he should offer it with the intention of nafl, not sunnah and wajib.
