We have received your query regarding fantasizing about others whilst having relations with ones spouse, our response is as follows:
To fantasise about others and to share immoral stories with one’s spouse is completely Haraam, although the Nikah itself remains intact. How would one feel if someone imagined one’s own mother or wife in order to become aroused? Such terrible evils can lead to devastating problems in one’s married life. Shaytan and the Nafs employ various ploys to destroy a person’s Haya and Iman. Completely abandon this evil, guard your gaze, and make sincere Taubah and Istighfar.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
