Husband and wife can enjoy themselves as they wish within the limits of Shariah

Question

My husband put his penis in my mouth, then he splashes his semen in my mouth, hair, and on my face and my breast. Is this thing prohibited in Islam?

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. There is no objection that the man enjoys any part of the body of his wife and ejaculates on it provided he avoids the anus totally and the vagina during the period of menstruation. Nevertheless, ejaculating on the mouth and around it is contrary to the good taste, the normal nature and the common ethics. It is feared that the wife swallows the sperm and this is forbidden according to the most correct opinion of Muslim scholars. al-Nawawi said: The best known and most correct opinion about swallowing sperm is that it is prohibited because it (the sperm) is disgusting and unlawful and Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {…and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khabâ'ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.),.. }[7:157]. Allah knows best.
