haram under Islamic law. For example, gender mixing is a big no-no, and you

won’t see many single-sex BDSM events being held in your neighborhood,

or anywhere, for that matter. Another haram practice you’ll see quite often at

BDSM events is the wear of fetish clothing, which can be

quite revealing at times. Not only does sharia forbid exposing any part

of the female body to a man who is not her husband, but it also forbids exposing

a woman’s “private parts” (awrah, defined as the area between a woman’s navel

and her knees) to other women, as well. So, exhibitionism is definitely off the

table. But as long as you keep your clothes on, you should be good to go, right?

Wrong. According to Dr.

Saalih as-Saalih, an authority on such matters, the prophet Mohammed also

made

it unlawful for a woman to look at the awrah of another woman. The bottom

line: If you’re a Muslim, and you’re into BDSM activities, you may

just want to conduct your BDSM activities in the privacy of your own home.

Sharia may have a lot to say about BDSM activities, but there’s actually little or

nothing in sharia that forbids you from having a

fulfilling D/s relationship. Whether that relationship is Master/slave, or

Dominant/submissive, sharia seems quite accepting of the D/s relationship

dynamic, as long as it is heterosexual, consensual, doesn’t harm the participants,

and does not simulate something that is forbidden.
