Fatwa ID: 04715

Answered by: Alimah Nasima Umm Hamza

Question:

Is the use of Ribbed/Studded/Textured Condoms which is designed to increase the wife’s pleasure, permissible to use? Is it Makruh for a husband to use a vibrator on his wife?

In The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind

Answer:

It will be permitted to use textured forms of condoms since the aim of these is to enhance intercourse, while the husband is still the one penetrating the wife.

It will be permitted for the husband to use a vibrator on his wife, only on the outer private parts of her body, including the clitoral area. This is only permitted as a method of foreplay, but not to reach climax. Furthermore, it is not permitted for the husband to enter the vibrator into the vagina, even if the husband is holding it.
