Du`a Before Sex
Question: 1202
I have a question that everyone I asked had a different answer for. Does the Muslim have to say anything during the sexual intercourse? And does the Muslim "husband and wife" have to pray before the first day of sexual intercourse?
Thank you for having this website to help us understand our religion more.
Summary of answer
In Islam, Muslim spouses should say this du’a before having sex: “Bismillah, Allahumma jannibnash-shaytana wa jannib-ash-shaytana ma razaqtana.”
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Du`a before sex
Among the manners prescribed by the Shari’ah is that the Muslim should say when he commences intercourse with his wife :
"In the Name of Allah, Oh Allah, shield us from Satan and keep him away from us and from what You [may] bestow upon us (i.e. children)" Narrated by Al-Bukhari, Fath ul-Bari No. 138)
Transliteration of du`a before sex
This opening invocation is useful in that if Allah blesses the husband and the wife with a child, this child will not be harmed by Satan.
And Allah knows best.
