Refraining from anything that is illicit and shameful

· 11 Jumada II 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My question is with regards to the high divorce rate. We see one of the biggest causes being lack of excitement or the inability to satisfy one's partner in bed. So to save the marriage can couples use sex toys during intercourse or practise bondage or learn different sex positions through books (containing sexual content) for education purposes?

Answer

These are unnatural ways of satisfying. The most effective way is to keep your mind and body free from anything that is illicit and shameful.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
