Question

Is it haraam to have sex with husband or wife while he or she is asleep?

Answer

This is very much inappropriate and inconsiderate and it is not the way of Muslims.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
