Sexual Relations with Spouse during the Month of Ramadan
Question
Title: Sexual Relations with Spouse during the Month of Ramadan Question: Is any kind of sexual activity allowed by the Shari`ah during the month of Ramadan ? Khan Answer: A Muslim should refrain from sexual intercourse, while in a state of fasting. This implies that a person may have sexual contact with his/her wife during the nights of Ramadan . However, if, during the month of Ramadan , a person decides to undertake ai`tikaaf , then till the time that his/her ai`tikaaf continues, the person should refrain from sexual contact with his/her spouse even during the nights. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad December 15, 2001
