Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Brother Assalamualikum,
can we keep the quran in our bedroom while we commit sex .b cause we have to face the quran as it is in front of our sight in the shelf,nearly 5 qurans 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Keep Quran in Bedroom

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Abu Dharr al-Ghaffari reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘[The sadaqah] from you is prescribed for you, and there is a reward for you [even] in sex with your wife.'" They (the companions) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (saws) is there a reward if one satisfies his passion?"  He (saws) said: "Do you know that if he satisfies it unlawfully he has taken a sin upon himself?  Likewise, if he satisfies it lawfully, he is rewarded."

Reported by Ahmad and Muslim.

Beloved Brother in Islam, enjoying sexual relations with one’s legally wedded wife in the sacred institution of marriage is a virtue and a good deed worthy of great rewards in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.  There is nothing in the Quran or Sunnah which prohibits or forbids the believers from enjoying conjugal relations with their wives if in the vicinity of the Glorious Quran.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
