Question

Please can you shed some light on my dilemma. A few nights ago whilst lying in bed i awoke from my sleep and felt what i thought was my husbands feet on top of me. I tapped the feet but I think I only did that so that my husband would lift up his feet as I felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately after the feet moved, I realised it was my three year old sons feet and not my husbands. I am not 100% sure if i touched him with lust or not or whether i just touched his feet so he would move them. please answer my question , is my husband haram on me.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

No, your husband is not Haram on you.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
