Marital intimacy

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2014-04-15 15:13

Q: Is pleasuring the private part via tongue, hand classed as zinna/fornication? Is it punishable by hadd? How can one hope for forgiveness for such a disgusting sin as apparently repentance for major sin is not always accepted.

A: Relationship with a woman besides the wife is haraam. And to be so intimate with a woman will definitely be punishable. The punishment will be left to the discretion of the Islamic court.

Beg for the forgiveness of Allah sincerely with regret and remorse. Leave the sin entirely and make a firm resolve never to return to that sin again.

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