[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6]
What does this mean?
for indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:6-7]
The secret habit is beyond that, beyond the wife and the right hand possession. Other than the wife and the right hand possession, it is forbidden.
