Mubah

Mubāḥ (Arabic: مباح) is an Arabic word meaning "permitted", which has technical uses in Islamic law. In uṣūl al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), mubāḥ is one of the five degrees of approval (ahkam), and is commonly translated as "neutral", "indifferent" or "(merely) permitted". It refers to an action that is not mandatory, recommended, reprehensible or forbidden, and thus involves no judgement from God.

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Oral sex is permitted and is not makruh. However, one should not swallow anything which is najis such as semen. Swallowing such liquids would be haram. It is also permitted for a wife to perform oral sex while in the state of hayd.

May Allah grant you success
