Is being aroused by animal on accident a sin and how do we repent?
Question
Asalam Alaekum. My wife and I were swimming on private beach, and dolphin come and play with us. We play with it but some time we both become little aroused. Is this wrong? Can you show passage in Qu'ran where it says this wrong? Thank you.
Answer
Describing the successful Mu'min, Allah states: ". and those who guard their private parts, except from their wives and those possessed by their right hands. Surely they are free from blame. But those who crave beyond that, they are transgressors indeed. (Mu'minoon 3-4)
This Aayah (Verse) is conclusive proof against all kinds of sexual deviancy. If you are certain that your arousal was caused by the animal and not by the sight of each other at play, then resolve never to indulge in such play again. Should you do so, make immediate repentance to Allah Ta'aala and beg forgiveness for your sin.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
