Summary
Partner swapping by mutual consent is stated to contradict Islamic morals and ethics, as well as the established practice of Islam. Islam permits sexual relations between a man and a woman only through the means allowed by Islamic law, namely marriage. A husband who lets his wife fall into adultery is regarded as neglecting his duties and as committing nusyuz, whereas he is obliged to protect his family from the Fire by guiding them to obey Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tukar pasangan suka sama suka adalah suatu perkara yang bercanggah dengan moral dan etika Islam.
