Fatwa #357320 September 2001United States of America

After a Nikah if the couple decides not to live together until a later time (Ruksaat) what are there marriage rights? Can they still get intimately involved?

Answer

It is permissible for the husband and wife to be intimate immediately after Nikah even though formal Rukhsati did not take place.
