The fulfillment of sexual desire and needs is essential in sustaining a harmonious marital relationship. However, in today's society, sexual boundaries are being pushed further and further, and often, sexual deviances are openly practiced. In such circumstances, there is a need to identify which sexual activities are permissible in Shari'ah.
An original work written by the esteemed scholar Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari and published by Huma Press, Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations is a serious endeavor to tackle these sensitive matters in a clear and meticulous manner. While being respectful and dignified in the language he employs, the author does not shy away from discussing sensitive issues. He records, in thorough detail, the guidance Islam provides regarding sexual encounters with one's spouse. The book covers a wide range of issues, and thus, answers many frequently asked questions on the topic of sexual intimacy. It concludes with a short chapter addressing Islamic etiquettes and practices pertaining to newlyweds on their first night.
