Touching fluids emitted during marital sex
Fatwa No: 86168

Question

Is the woman allowed to touch the man's sperm with her hand and is the man allowed to touch the water coming out from her vagina with his hand?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Muslim scholars have different opinions concerning the sperm whether it is pure or not. The preponderant opinion is that it is pure. Therefore, touching it is permissible for both the husband and wife. In spite of its purity, it is recommended to avoid touching it since it is among the disgusting things. We say so because the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to remove it from his clothes. Allah knows best.
