ASA Can someone knowledgeable confirm that I got all this right? I have to meet her tonight.
1. Initiation: Both partners can initiate. Acting kindly towards each other, smiling, holding hands, taking care of each other, gentleness is encouraged.
2. Refusal: Both partners can refuse (but it is better not to) It is the right of both partners in marriage to have sexual relations
- The only things that are totally prohibited in Islam are anal sex and intercourse during periods (also bleeding after childbirth) and during fasting. Everything else is allowed. There are no restrictions on timing of the day, positions.
4. Birth Control: I did not find any hadiths FOR using birth control. Most imams say that it is permissible though
- It is mandatory that you have Ghusl after intercourse. You have to make niyyat. You don’t have to right after but before you go about your chores.
