We know that when we are going to have relations with our spouse that we should always say a dua for Allah to protect us from evil.

Question is, how does this work if a Muslim is married to a non-Muslim (but of the people i.e a Christian or Jew)?

  • Does he still recite the dua?
  • Does he still put his hand over her forehead and recite the dua?
  • Does he just say it to himself?

Thank you.

  • The "prayer" comes from within your heart and God reads your heart before even you speaking out.

  • I'm not sure this is of any relevance here, but I suppose the context suggests this might be of interest: you are allowed to pray for any living person in matters of dunya that don't go against islam (e.g. you can't pray that someone makes a lot of money off prostitution and robbery). What you cannot do is pray for a deceased person in matters of akhira if they weren't muslim - for example, you would not be allowed to pray for Abu Talib if you think he did not die as a muslim, as most scholars do.

  • Those dua's are recommended for a Muslim and there's no restriction quoted. And asking Allah is always good. But I'.m afraid you are confusing dua's and situations.

    @Medi1Saif - nope, not confusing dua's and situations. just want to make sure that it is allowed/permissible :) I mean, I am sure there are things you cannot recite to non Muslims, right?

  • I'm quite sure you do as the 2nd point is only AFAIK applies (as it is narrated) at the first encounter between you as spouses.

There is no obligatory dua to be recited before having sex regardless of the spouses faith. However, there are many duas that a spouse may recite to get extra reward seeking Allah's forgiveness. I hope the following duas will be useful to you.

Dua to be recited in the first wedding night by the husband:

When you marry a woman, say: “O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that you have made her inclined towards, and I seek refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that you have made her inclined towards.” -- Duas.com

Dua before sexual intercourse:

In the Name of Allah. O Allah, keep the shaytaan away from us and keep the shaytaan away from what You have blessed us with. -- Duas.com
