Committing Zina with a Condom

26-2-2002 | IslamWeb

Question:

I assume that it is still considered from the Kaba'ir for a man to commit Zina by having sex with a woman even if he's wearing a condom, correct?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The Muslim scholars define Zina (fornication or adultery) that it is the penetration of a glans penis of a sane pubescent person into a forbidden vagina (i.e. other than the wife).

In addition, it makes no difference whether the epidermis of penis touches the epidermis of vagina or not; i.e. it is the same ruling whether or not you are wearing a condom.

Know that Zina is among the major sins and the person who commits it faces a severe punishment.

Allah Says while describing the pious Muslims (what means): {And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty. Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated - Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. } [Quran 25:68-70]

Allah knows best.
