The answer

There is no harm in a husband enjoying his wife, no matter how much, as long as it does not distract him from an obligation or lead to harm. He will be rewarded for this enjoyment if he has a good intention. In Muslim, Abu Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And in your sexual intercourse there is charity." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, if one of us satisfies his sexual desire, will he have a reward for that?" He said, "Do you not see that if he were to place it in something unlawful, there would be a burden of sin upon him? Likewise, if he places it in something lawful, there will be a reward for him." One should thank Allah for this blessing by fearing Him and cooperating in acts of obedience, for thanking a blessing is a cause for its increase and blessings. Allah Almighty said: {And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'} [Ibrahim: 7].
