Q: I am married and while I was in outdoor religious lesson arranged by some scholars, I understood from the speech (Part No. 19; Page No. 162)
of one scholar that one should not have sexual intercourse with his wife on the following days: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. He also said that taking a bath on Wednesdays is impermissible
and that whoever takes a bath on 40 successive Wednesdays will die by iron. What is your fatwa regarding such claims?
A:
Claims of the scholar mentioned above regarding the prohibition of having sexual intercourse on the days mentioned and of taking a bath on Wednesday is false and groundless beliefs. Thus, it is impermissible to have confidence in it or act thereupon. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
