The Role of Sex Aids in Islamic Law – Balancing Intimacy and Islamic Principles

In sexual relationships, it is important to make sure you keep within the boundaries set by your religion and cultural beliefs.  For people who are Islamic, there are questions about certain sexual practices and the question of sex aids in Islamic Law.

In this guide, we will explore the guidelines provided by Islamic and Shariah law that talk about adult sex toys and sex in general.

Background to Islamic and Shariah Law

Islamic law, also known as Shariah is a framework for Muslims’ personal lives and how to live in their society. Many aspects of life are covered in this law.  These include religious obligations, moral conduct, family law, and personal relationships.

Comgin from the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and actions (Sunnah and Hadith), and scholarly interpretations, Shariah aims to guide Muslims in leading a good life.

When it comes to sex, Islam talks about the importance of modesty, mutual consent, and respect.

They have specific guidelines.  But it is impotant to remember that there are different interpretations to these rules.

Understanding the Boundaries

Islamic teachings are centred around marriage and the importance of sex in marriage.

The Quran says, “The Believers are those who abstain from sex except with those joined to them in a marriage bond” (Surah Al-Ma’arij, 70:29-30).  This verse shows the importance of keeping sex within marriage.

Islam allows for lots of sexual acts in marriage that will bring new heights of pleasure and intimacy to both partners. But it is essential as in all relationships, to make sure you’re open with  desires and boundaries.

Islam encourages open communication between married people so that they can both get satisfaction from their sex lives.

Role of Sex Aids In Islamic Law

One topic that often sparks curiosity and debate is the use of sex toys within Islamic relationships.  Adult sex toys can potentially enhance sexual experiences and intimacy in a marriage or partnership.

But it is crucial to understand the restrictions and guidelines set out by Islamic law.

Islam places importance on the natural and physical connection of a married couple and thinks that it is the main source of intimacy.  Adult sex toys  are allowed if this is help with stimulation during intercourse.

The intention behind using sex toys should always be to strengthen the bond between couples and deepen their intimacy.

Choosing Appropriate Sex Toys to Conform with Islam Beliefs

When considering the use of sex toys, it is important to choose sex toys that align with Islamic beliefs and values.  Adultsmart offers a range of products that keep to these principles.

The following factors should be considered when choosing appropriate sex toys.

• Modesty

Islamic teachings talk about modesty in personal behaviour.   I think that when choosing a sex toy, it is good to choose one which is modest and not really out there in terms of looks or what you use it for.

• Functionality

Sex toys that stimulate the outer parts of your genitals like the clitoris, are in line with Islamic principles.  These sex toys can enhance pleasure during foreplay and really up the ante as far as pleasure for both partners is concerned.

• Safety

Making sure that safety is top priority.  It is really imporant for you to choose sex toys made from safe materials so that they don’t harm or cause discomfort.

• Consent

Mutual consent is fundamental in Islam as it is in many other cultures.  Both partners must agree and be comfortable with the use of sex toys.  Open communication about your boundaries and what is to happen is very important.

By keeping to these guidelines, you can introduce sex toys into your sex lives.  Who doesn’t want to spice up your sex life whilst still keeping to your Islamic values?  It’s a win win.

Background on Islamic and Shariah Law

Islamic and Shariah law provide a really in depth guide for Muslims in all aspects of life.  It covers personal conduct, family law, commerce and what is expected in society.

There are interpretations but the fundamental principles of Islam include monotheism, the importance of prayer.  And charitable giving, fasting during Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Shariah law aims to promote justice, fairness, and moral conduct also being a guide for Muslims in their everyday lives.

What are Allowed Sex Practices?

Sex acts that are allowed in Islam are those that take place within the boundaries of marriage and a married couple.

Sexual intimacy and sex for a married couple is really imporant.  Islam teachings do speak about the importance of consent, respect, and mutual satisfaction in sexual relations.

It is really important to make sure that when having sex or trying something new to discuss this with your partner any boundaries or desires you have.

Are Sex Toys Allowed?  

Islam says that you can use sex toys as long as they are used to make sex better rather than to replace the actual intercourse.  Sex toys should be making the sex even better than what it already is.  Or maybe just giving you what your sex life was lacking.

Choose sex toys that keep with your Islamic beliefs and consider things like modesty, what you want to use it for, who with and if the other person will also want to use it.

What are the Restrictions on Their Use?

Sex toys are always going to have some restrictions that are put on using them by Islamic law.  Some of the restrictions are only using sex toys that stimulate the outer parts of your genitals or your partner’s genitals.

You also have to take into account any doubts that your partner may have as well as if they are shy about it.  Also, you have to be sure that the other person has consented to using a sex toy.

It is really important to have open communication, respect each other’s boundaries.  And ensure that the use of sex toys does not become a substitute for the actual act of sex and physical intimacy of a couple.

Adult Sex Toys Can Only Be Used as an Aid, Not to Replace

Islam says that sex toys can be used but only to make sex better and not to replace the actual act of intercourse.

What Types of Sex Toys Can I Use Then? 

Sex toys that might be okay to use are like ones that stimulate the outer genital like such as the clitoris, and enhance pleasure during foreplay.

These could be sex toys like a vibrator, cock ring, pussy pump, finger vibrator, bullet.  As long as it stays outside the body – go for it.

If you choose correctly, not only will you be keeping within your beliefs, but you will also be heading to the heights of new found pleasure! What’s not to love?
