What are the recommendations and guidelines for having intercourse with a pregnant wife in her ninth month, and is sexual activity during this period disliked, harmful, or does it lead to inducing labor?

It is permissible for a man to enjoy intimacy with his pregnant wife at all times and under all circumstances, unless the Shari'ah forbids it, such as anal intercourse or during menstruation and post-natal bleeding (nifas). As for a pregnant woman, there is no evidence prohibiting intercourse with her unless there is a fear of harm to the fetus, which specialized doctors assess. The Almighty's saying: (Your women are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth when or however you will) Al-Baqarah/223, confirms the permissibility of this. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned that intercourse increases the hearing and sight of the fetus. As for intercourse speeding up labor, it is not true unless it is violent and the uterus is weak. The husband must consider his wife's psychological state and condition during intercourse.
