What is the ruling regarding a wife sleeping with her husband wearing clothes that only cover the major 'awrah, outside of intercourse or throughout the night? And does this attract devils or repel angels?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A valid marriage contract alone permits each spouse to look at and enjoy all of the other's body, with the exception of the anus and the place of menstruation during menstruation. It is permissible for a wife to sleep with her husband at times other than intercourse, whether by night or day, and whether she is wearing something that covers her 'awrah or not. It has not been proven that this action results in the expulsion of angels or the bringing of devils.
