CONCEPT OF SEXUAL LIFE IN ISLAM

(A BRIF STUDY BY ABDULLAH PIRKANI)

Bismillahi-Rahmani-Raheem

Is marriage obligatory for a woman who is able to refrain from immoral

actions all her life, in order to devote herself to her religion and

to avoid the distractions and obligations of marriage?

Praise be to Allaah.

Allaah has enjoined marriage, as He says

(interpretation of the meaning): "And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife

and the woman who has no husband) and (also marry) the Saalihoon (pious,

fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid#8209;servants

(female slaves). If they be poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty"
