Is it permissible for one to read the questions and answers relating to sexual intimacy if one is not married and it is possible that impermissible thoughts may occur to one?
Answer
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Actions are by intentions."
Thus, one should look at
(a) the motives behind one's actions
(b) the soundness and propriety of one's actions according to the Qur'an and Sunna, and
(c) the consequences of one's actions,
and act accordingly.
And Allah alone gives success.
Faraz Rabbani
