Sex in Islam

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sex is very important subject in Islam.[1][2] Islam devides three biological sex of human: male, female and intersex. Sexual intercourse is allowed between sexually matured male and female by Islamic marriage, and there is some limitations which they call Mahram (not allowed to marry) and Mahram (allowed to marry). Marrying or doing sex with Mahram is considered incest and prohibited. Doing sex outside marriage is called Zina, it includes fornication, adultery, non-marital rape, incest, bestiality and homosexuality. If anyone do Zina openly, there is punishment. Transsexual and transgender acts are prohibited. Intersex people are treated well and prescribed to be cured by treatment as male or female if procreation is possible. Anal sex with anybody is prohibited. Self-masturbation and marital oral sex is strongly disliked but mutual masturbation between hunband and wife is permitted. Transgender acts and medical processes are prohibited. From 2022 to 2024, many Islamic countries denied the concept of gender and they prohited differentiating biological sex with social sex, some countries' fatwa board banned the use of the word "gender".[3][4] Islam encourages procreation through marriage as much as possible. Temporary contraception is allowed and permanent contraception in disallowed. Islam has its own ideals of modesty. Islamic modesty prescribes dress code, disallows communicating non-Mahram male and female with each other. Sex education before and after sexual maturity is different. Abortion is not allowed, but allowed before four months if mother's life is in danger.[5]
