1- What is the ruling of Islam on love and fulfilling sexual urges?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on love has been previously addressed in earlier fatwas. Satisfying sexual desire through lawful means is among what Allah has permitted and encouraged, and the doer will be rewarded if they intend a righteous intention, such as chastity for oneself and one's spouse, and seeking righteous offspring; based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "And in the sexual act of one of you there is charity," meaning a man's intercourse with his wife. As for satisfying it through unlawful means, it is among the most obscene abominations, the ugliest sins, and the greatest of them.
