**Topics:** Intimacy in marriage; Sexual ethics; Guest conversations

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** The guest says the arguments against oral sex within marriage, from the right-hand prohibition and from impurity, do not hold, since one's own body is not impure; Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees.

## Longer summary

The guest describes a debate among students at Jamia Abi Bakr about oral sex. He says those who opposed it argued that the Prophet forbade touching the private part with the right hand, to which he replied that one can use the left; and that it is impure, to which he replied that one's own body parts are not impure. He cites the statement that a person's private part is only a part of him, asking why anyone would carry something impure. He says these people have no logic. Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees with everything the guest is saying, and then puts a question to him.
