Threesomes – Halal or Haram?

Does Islam permit threesomes? ‘Aqoul members are throwing their cents into the ever growing fatwa haven. Neither of the participants could recall any explicit ban on threesomes in the Qur’an or Hadith. Then again, they’re not scraggy-bearded Islamic scholars. And it’s not exactly the question you raise in your local mosque. Hints to an answer come from a question posted at Islam On Line’s fatwa generator:

A person is married to two wives. He wants to have sex with both of them together in the same bed as a threesome. Is it haram to do so if the wives are willing to do it? Thanks!

Having deconstructed the question and tackled the major problems, such as rules holding that no women should see another woman’s private area, ‘Aqoul is concluding:

So, if the threesome is in the dark where the women cannot see each other’s awrah and there is no discussion afterwards, then surely the husband is only fulfilling his duty to treat both wives equally and thus justify his decision for taking another wife in the first place.
