What is the ruling on a husband having intercourse with his wife without reciting the supplication, "O Allah, distance Satan from us, and distance Satan from that which You have provided us"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The aforementioned supplication is among the استحباب (recommended acts) for intercourse and is not obligatory, based on Allah's saying: "And put forth [righteousness] for yourselves," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If any of you, when coming to his wife, were to say: 'In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep us away from Satan and keep Satan away from what You have provided for us,' and a child is destined between them, Satan will never harm it."
