Oral Sex - The Fiqh Details

Answer:

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Oral sex takes various rulings—depending on the situation:

a) if oral sex entails swallowing or likely swallowing of filthy substances--such as pre-sexual discharge--then it is prohibitively disliked and sinful;

b) if there is fear of this, and this fear is at the level of likelihood, then it would also be impermissible and sinful;

c) if the fear is not at the level of likelihood--such as when all precautions are taken--then it would be disliked and improper;

d) when there is no fear of swallowing any filth, even accidentally, then it would be other than the best thing to do (khilaf al-awla).

And Allah alone gives success.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
