And what are wives for in Islam, anyway? Women’s Rights in Islamic Law Update: “Islamic sex guide says wives meet only 10% of husbands’ desires,” by Lindsay Murdoch for the Sydney Morning Herald, October 14:
BANGKOK: Just months after telling its members to serve their husbands better than prostitutes, prompting widespread criticism, the Obedient Wives Club of Malaysia has stirred further controversy by publishing a guide to Islamic sex.
The 115-page pocket-sized book, which will outrage many Muslims and non-Muslims, says a Muslim man can have sex with all of his wives at the same time.
Under strict Islamic tradition a man can have up to four wives if he can provide for them all.
That’s actually in the Qur’an (4:3).
The club prompted an outcry from women’s groups and Islamic religious authorities when it was established in June, claiming to have 1000 members….
Among organisations that condemned the club was the Wanita Malaysian Chinese Association, which passed a motion describing its advice to women as an insult to their basic human rights.
In its foreword the book says studies showed women only gave their husbands 10 per cent of what men desired of their wives’ bodies. It contains explicit sex details, including fondling of a breast, and one chapter deals with ”how sex becomes worship”.
The book says sex is sanctioned by God and is intended to make a new life.
”You (God) have said that all these acts are halal, pure, beautiful and like a prayer (between man and wife),” it says.
In June the club’s vice-president, Dr Rohaya Mohamad, prompted criticism when she advised women to behave like a ”first-class whore” while in the company of their husbands if they wanted their marriage to succeed….
The book is circulating in Malaysia at a time when radical Islam is expanding across Asia through a movement called Hizbut Tahrir, which is attracting many middle-class Muslims, including businessmen, lawyers and mothers.
Hizbut Tahrir wants to unite all Muslim countries in a globe-spanning bloc ruled by strict sharia law. It is operating openly in Australia.
Ozan says
In the name of Allaah , The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Praise be to Allaah.
Having intercourse with one wife in the presence of the other and where she can see is something concerning which there should be no dispute that it is haraam(forbidden).
1 – al-Hasan al-Basri said: They – meaning the Sahaabah and senior Taabi’een – used to regard wajs as makrooh, which means having intercourse with one when the other can hear the sounds. The word “makrooh”( opposite of liked or loved) according to the earlier scholars means that it is haraam(forbidden).
Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah in al-Musannaf, 4/388
2 – Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If two wives agree to live together in one house, that is permissible, because they each have the right to their own house, but they may give up that right. Similarly they may agree to let him sleep between them in one bed. But if they agree to let him have intercourse with one of them when the other one is looking, that is not permissible, because it is vile and despicable and is not appropriate, and it does not become permissible even if they agree to it.
al-Mughni, 8/137
3 – al-Hajaawi the author of Zaad al-Mustanqi’ said: It is makrooh to have intercourse where anyone can see.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen commented on these words by saying:
It is very strange that he limited himself to describing it as makrooh. This covers two issues. The first is having intercourse where the awrahs of both partners can be seen. Undoubtedly limiting oneself to saying that this is makrooh is a mistake, because it is obligatory to cover the ‘awrah. If it is in a place where anyone can see their ‘awrahs, this is undoubtedly haraam, and what this author says is not correct at all.
The second is having intercourse in a place where the ‘awrah cannot be seen. Limiting oneself to saying that this is makrooh is also subject to further discussion. For example, if they are covered with a blanket and he starts to have intercourse with her, and the movements can be seen. This is undoubtedly more likely to be haraam, because it is not appropriate for a Muslim to lower himself to such a level.
This may also provoke desire in the person who sees this, and that may lead to evil consequences.
The correct view concerning this matter is that it is haraam to have intercourse with a woman in view of anyone.

Islam is a ‘way of life’ of piety and righteousness and under no circumstances does Islam permit a believer to enjoy sexual intercourse with more than one of his wives at any one time.
Under no circumstances is it permissible in Islam for a believer who sincerely believes in Allah and the Last Day to enjoy conjugal relations with two women at one and the same time.
Praise to be Allaah.
