Ruling on Oral Sex in Maliki School
Summary: Oral sex, referring to the stimulation of the genitalia with the mouth, is permissible (halal) according to the Maliki school of Islamic law (fiqh). This providing that the sexual act takes place within marriage and does not harm either partner.
In the book, Muwāḥib al-Jalīl Sharḥ Mukhtaṣar Khalīl by al-Imām al-Ḥaṭṭāb, it was said:
Asbigh said: "The scholars (ulamah) who disliked this, did so according to medicine not ‘ilm (religious knowledge); and there is no problem in it and it’s not makrūh (disliked)."
It is narrated from Imam Mālik:
“There is no problem in seeing the private parts of the wife in the state of sexual intercourse.”
He also said:
“And to suck it (the privates) with the tongue.”
Ibn al-‘Arabī says in his commentary (tafsīr) of the Qur'an:
“The scholars differed with regards to husband seeing the private parts of his wife.”
One of them said: “If taking pleasure is permissible then seeing her private parts is obviously permissible.”
And our scholars said about oral sex: “It is permissible to suck the privates parts of the wife with his tongue.”
