Question
Is there a particular prayer a Muslim should recite before having intercourse?Answer
Assalamu alaykum
The following du'a is recommended at the commencement of sexual intercourse:
بِسْمِ اللهِ، اَللّٰهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا
Bismi ’Llah(i), Allahumma jannibna ’sh-shaytana wa jannibi ’sh-shaytana ma razaqtana.
In the name of Allāh. O Allah, protect us from Satan and keep Satan away from the children You grant us. (Bukhari)
Wassalam
Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf
