Dua before intercourse

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Should the dua “اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا” be read in the heart or with the tongue in the following situations?

1. The husband is lying under the blanket with underwear i.e. part of the aurah is not covered by clothes, only by the blanket?

2. The husband is lying under the blanket without any clothes at all?

3. The wife is lying below the blanket with underwear, but she has no hijab, leaving her hair uncovered outside the blanket

Also, should the following dua be read with the tongue or in the heart at the time of ejaculation: “اللهم لا تجعل للشيطان فيما رزقتنا نصيبا”? Should it be read by the husband and the wife or only by the husband?

Bismillaah

A: This du`aa is read before the relationship, perhaps before undressing. Hence, it should be read with the tongue.

By both.

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