"Oral sex" refers to the use the mouth for stimulating a mate's genitalia.
There is no reference to oral sex in the texts of Islam or in the sayings of the salaf There are two possible reasons for this:
1. This practice was not known to the early Muslims, and has not become widely known except after the contemporary spread of pornography and obscenity.
The 'allamah al-Albani Rahimahu 'Llah was once asked about oral sex and he replied:
"We have not heard of anyone doing this except dogs."
From an old cassette that was recorded prior to al-Albani's migration from Damascus to Jordan.
2. To a certain degree, this practice counts as foreplay, and Islam prohibits disclosing private secrets of sexual intimacy such as foreplay, intercourse, and so on.
This opinion has been attributed to the 'allamah al-Albani Rahimahu 'Llah.
With the above understanding, we may conclude (Allah knows best) that oral sex is permissible but highly disliked for the following reasoning:
1. One cannot declare the prohibition of something without clear evidence from the Book or Sunnah.
2. Oral sex was not one of the known practices of the early righteous Muslims. In addition, it is known to be the practice of dogs and of disbelievers. The Muslims are encouraged to imitate the righteous salaf and are discouraged from imitating disbelievers or animals. Thus, oral sex is a disliked practice.
3. Oral sex may be practiced as a form of foreplay - similar to kissing other parts of the body. But one may not indulge in it to a degree that makes it replace normal intercourse.
4. Oral sex should not be accompanied by swallowing genital excretions of either one of the two spouses. Some of these excretions (like the pre-seminal fluid) are najis (impure) and should not come into one's mouth or on one's clothes. Furthermore, a man may not ejaculate in his wife's mouth because the mouth is not a place for seed-cultivation, not to mention the possible harmful effects of this.
5. Excessive oral sex causes infections to the genitals (more often for women than for men), and Islam prohibits causing harm.
