Is it permissible for a man to arouse his wife and then deliberately and intentionally leave her, causing her great harm, under the pretext of teaching her that he can do without her or that she cannot influence him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden for a husband to withdraw his penis from his wife's vagina before she reaches orgasm, as this deprives her of complete pleasure and enjoyment, and may harm her. A man must have sexual intercourse with his wife in a good and honorable manner, and this is one of her most emphasized rights upon him. What some claim, that this act deters the wife and makes her aware that her husband can do without her, is false talk inspired by Satan. The marital relationship is built on tranquility and affection, not on rivalry and harm. Therefore, the husband must fear Allah and turn away from evil companions.
