Sexual intercourse using condom during menses Fatwa No: 81913
- Fatwa Date:3-5-2000
If a man wears a condom ( 'aazil ), can he have sexual intercourse during the woman's monthly period?
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Intercourse is prohibited during the menstrual period even if one wears a condom. Using the condom has no influence on the initial Islamic rule concerning having sexual intercourse. For example, whoever has sex using it should make the ceremonial purity (Ghusl) even if he does not ejaculate. The Had (punishment of adultery/fornication) should be implemented on any person who has illegal sexual intercourse using a condom or not using it. So, having sexual intercourse with protector (condom) or without it is prohibited during the women’s menstruation period. Allah knows best.
