Oral sex

Question

I want to know that if oral sex between husband and wife is allowed in islam or not?

Answer

The mouth is an organ that is used to take the name of Allah Ta'ala and recite the Quraan. Hence one should refrain from using the mouth for despicable acts. Furthermore this action has a resemblance with the ways of the kuffaar and the way of the animals. We should understand that everything that is paak is not placed in one's mouth. Consider the mucus in one's nose, though it is paak, one will not place it in one's mouth.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
