By Asma Bint Shameem
A woman may get a
massage only if certain conditions are fulfilled.
For example
- the one massaging is
also woman
- the woman is
completely covered and there’s no unnecessary exposure.
- the area between the
navel and the knee is completely covered all the time and is not to be touched
or removed.
- there’s no fear of
fitnah (temptation) or harm etc.
-if there’s a “NEED”
for it.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen
said:
“If a husband does it
(massage) with his wife or the wife with her husband, then there is no harm in
this because if the affair is like this, it is allowed even if his desires are
aroused. His desires are fulfilled with his wife. As for if it is done between
other then them, then in it is fitnah. If a young man does that with another
man, is it not feared that his desires will be aroused? Of course, even if a
woman did it with another women it is feared her desires will be aroused
because the woman has desires like how a man has desires. So I do not see this
permitted except with a husband with his wife. Likewise, if we assume that the
man is very old and he has daughters and he requests them to press his back,
then there is no harm with this because desires in this situation are very far.
An old man needs this and along with his need and desires being far, we say:
there is no harm in this In Shaa’ Allaah.”
And Allaah knows best
