Ramadan Rules For Married Couples: The holy month of Ramadan has begun across the world. India also begins today, February 19th. This holy month of Islam is a month of prayer, patience, and self-control. During this time, many people wonder whether a husband and wife can have physical relations while fasting. Let us answer this question to help people resolve their doubts.

According to Studioarabiya, a website promoting Islamic education, the answer to this is clear from Islamic teachings: yes, but adherence to the timing and rules is essential. The Quran states that intimacy between husband and wife is permissible during the nights of fasting. This means that marital relations are permitted from sunset, when Iftar is completed, until the morning prayer (Fajr). This is a natural and legitimate part of marriage, and there is no sin in it during this period.

When should you be cautious?

However, sexual intercourse is prohibited during the fast, from Fajr to Maghrib. During this time, one refrains from eating and drinking, as well as from sexual intercourse. If someone intentionally does so while fasting, the fast is broken, and one may have to make up for it by making an expiation, which includes fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 needy people. This demonstrates the importance placed on the purity of fasting in Islam. As for other affectionate behavior, such as hugging or light kissing, these are generally permissible between husband and wife, but while fasting, it is important to exercise restraint to avoid breaking the fast. Self-control is the core spirit of Ramadan.

You should keep these things in mind.

The purpose of Ramadan is not just to fast and thirst, but also to cultivate spiritual growth and self-control. Therefore, married life should also be maintained with this balance, so that both worship and relationships are not affected. If anyone has any doubts about the rules, it is best to seek advice from a trusted religious scholar. With proper understanding, both fasting and married life can be balanced. Husband and wife should maintain a balance between worship and marital life. The time after Iftar or before Sehri can also be an opportunity to strengthen mutual understanding, communication, and emotional connection.
