Question:

Dear Sir, I am staying in Dubai alone. Due to childrens' education, my family is away from me and she can not stay with me. When I feel tired or exuasted, I usualy go for body massage parlour where girls are giving massgae service. Alhamulillah I never did zina with any woman, but I am worried if taking body massage also is a sort of Zina Sageera and I want stop now. Pls advise how can I do the Kaffara for this sin, which I have already commited so that it can be fogiven from Allah SubhanuTaala and accepts my repentance. Jazakallah Khair

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

 

Undoubtedly, being massaged by a woman who is not a Mahram is forbidden. The only expiation for this sin is to sincerely repent to Allaah.

For more benefit on the conditions of a sincere repentance, please refer to Fatwa 83145, and to Fatwa 84181 on body massage.

Allaah Knows best.
