What should I do if I forget the Basmalah before intercourse and remember it during or after it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Remembering Allah before intercourse is recommendable, not obligatory. If someone forgets, there is no sin upon them, based on Allah's saying: (Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake) and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "My Ummah has been forgiven for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do." If one remembers during intercourse, they should remember Allah Almighty.
