Intimacy with two wives similtaneously

Question

What is the ruling with regards to engaging in intimacy with two wives at the same time?

Answer

A person void of shame and Hayaa will stoop to this level. Any person with a sound temperament wouldn’t even think of such an act, which animals do not perpetrate. This type of thinking is created due to viewing filth on the net or reading filthy literature. This is a dangerous condition, as a person that engages in such indecency will eventually get involved in worse until Imaan is snatched away from him. A person inclined towards such filth should therefore frequent the gatherings of the pious, engage in the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala, repent, and cleanse the heart.
