Is it Makrooh (detested) to have sex during certain parts of the day or during certain days of the year?
Answer
It is stated in the Ihyaa that it is undesirable to indulge in sex during three nights of the lunar calendar, viz. the first, the fourteenth and the last night. This has been mentioned by Hadhrat Abu Hurayra, Hadhrat Ali and Hadhrat Muawiya (Radhiallaahu Anhum).
The author of Rifaatul Muslimeen states that in addition to the above, Wednesday night (Islamically Tuesday night) and the night preceding the two Eids should be avoided. The night preceding a journey should also be avoided.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
