Question

Is sucking wife's breast halal during physical intercourse?

Answer

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

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

It is permissible for the husband to suck the wife’s breasts. However, if she has milk in her breasts, the husband should exercise precaution and avoid the intake of the milk from the breasts.1

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
