Is using a condom haram in Islam?

Question

my question is it haram to use a condom while having intercourse
and what are the consequence for masturbating?

Answer 1

Assuming you are married , it is permissible to use condoms so long as this does not cause any harm and so long as both husband and wife consent to their use, because this is similar to ‘azl (coitus interruptus or “withdrawal”). But it reduces the sensation of pleasure, which is the right of both partners, and reduces the chance of conception, which is also the right of both partners. Neither one of them is allowed to deprive the other of these rights.

Masturbation (for both men and women) is haram (forbidden) in Islam based on the following evidence:
First from the Qur’aan: Imam Shafi’i stated that masturbation is forbidden based on the following verses from the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning): "And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7

Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal sexual acts (including masturbation) except for the wives or that their right hand possess. And whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor. "And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His bounty." 24.33. This verse also clearly orders whoever does not have the financial means to marry to keep himself chaste and be patient in facing temptations (including masturbation) until Allah enriches them of His bounty.

Secondly, from the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him): Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood said, "We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever. So Allaah’s Messenger said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." Bukhari:5066.

Answer 2

The right about 'sensation of pleasure' is not a criteria bacause in fact by circumsizing, the 'sensation of pleasure' is reduced. Ask any muslim convert, they will tell you. But circumcision is a  necessity since it reduces the risk of genito-unirary infections.



The verse (23.5-7 ) does not explicitly forbid masturbation as there was no direct or indirect mention. This is just an interpretation. But it refers evidently to fornication (not wives or captives or slaves).

nor verse 24.33. nor  the hadith.

Answer 3

no it is permissible as far as you have done nikah and your wife has accept for you to use it
