Sex in Islam
Sex is a very important subject in Islam.[1][2] The Qur'an allows only sexual intercourse with married (nikāḥ) and "what the right hand owns".[3] This historically permitted Muslim men to have extramarital sex with concubines and sex slaves. Contraceptive use is permitted for birth control. Acts of homosexual intercourse are prohibited.[4] Islamic marital jurisprudence allows Muslim men to be married to multiple women (a practice known as polygyny).[5][6]
