Answer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

1.) No, it is haram to drink the wife’s milk. The reason for the prohibition is that one is taking benefit of a part of the human body without any need. [i] [ii]

2.) If protection is used, and none of the fluids enter the mouth, it would be disliked, but permissible to practice oral sex. However, it does not behove a Muslim to practice oral sex even with protection because his mouth is used for recitation of the Quran and the dhikr of Allah. [iii] [iv]

3.) Yes, it is permitted for one to do so in the privacy of one’s room, however one should out of adab (etiquette) and haya (modesty) cover oneself with a bed sheet. [v]

4.) Yes, both the standing and the wife-on-top positions are permissible.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Clarification

The Darul Iftaa has received queries regarding Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb’s teaching and affiliation with Madrassah In’aamiyya, Camperdown. The confusion is probably due to the previous Fatawaa and Google searches of Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb issued under the name of Darul Iftaa, Madrassah In’aamiyyah, Camperdown.


Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb has resigned from Madrassah In’aamiyya two years ago and has no affiliation with Madrassah In’aamiyya, Camperdown.

Mufti Saheb has established the Darul Iftaa in Durban that facilitates for post-Ulama courses and training Mufti’s. He teaches Hadeeth at Darul Uloom Nu’maniyyah.
