On God and Caesar’s Love Life……….
“Q: Some people say there is a prayer that should be performed before a husband consummates the marriage (by having sexual intercourse with his wife). They say that he should offer two rak`ahs before making love. Is that true?
A: Consummating the marriage is not only a time for having sensual pleasure but could also be a time for remembering Allah. Answering this question, late sheikh `Abdu `Aziz Ibn Baz, a former Mufti of Saudi Arabia, said:
Some of the Companions were reported to have offered two rak`ahs before consummating the marriage and having sexual intercourse. But there is no authentic narration that established a basis for this practice. So, if one offers two rak`ah following the example of these pious predecessors, there will be no harm and if he does not, there will be no harm either. The issue is wide open and, to my knowledge, no authentic Sunnah constitutes a basis for it.”
Alles klar?
