Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on what is called the secret habit? Is it permissible?
Answer:
The secret habit is forbidden. The secret habit is forbidden because it is seeking pleasure other than what Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has permitted. He said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6] This means other than the wife and the secret habit. Those are the transgressors. The secret habit is part of this, seeking what is beyond that. Yes.

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
