Question

Is oral sex permissible in Islam? Is there any difference between male and female oral sex? Do both partners have to take a shower after having oral sex?

Answer:

If the “oral sex” includes the penis being inserted in the wife’s mouth to the extent that she swallows the filth, whether this filth is semen (Mani) or pre-ejaculatory fluid (Madhi), or the man takes the filth of the woman in his mouth, then this will not be permissible.1 

However, if the act consists of the wife kissing her husband’s penis and the husband kisses her genitals and they avoid any areas where there is pre-ejaculatory fluid, then there is a difference of opinion. Some scholars say that it will be permissible (Mubah), although disliked whilst others say it will still remain Makruh (disliked).2

 

If semen (mani) is discharged after having oral sex, ghusl will become obligatory.3
