What the husband mentioned is correct regarding the permissibility of his enjoying his wife in ways other than anal intercourse and during menstruation.
However, oral sex is considered contrary to human nature (fitra) and sound taste. It is forbidden if there is a fear of harm or if it involves contact with impurities (najasa).
If it does not result in harm and no impurity is involved, the wife is not obliged to obey her husband in it, as it contravenes noble manners, the etiquette of Islamic law (), and good customs.
The husband must fear Allah concerning his wife and respect her feelings, and the wife should continue to advise him in the best manner.
