Asslaam Alikum. I'm a Muslim male, and I have a very unusual question to ask. And I'm hoping I will have an honest answer.

This may sound strange, I like people tickling me, in the past, I have let friends tickle me, as my friends like tickling, and I like to be tickled. I need to know whether this is permissible in Islam. Tickling is the touching of someone else’s body causing laughter. It is in no way sexual and involved areas like the navel and the feet. It does not involve any private areas as that would be obviously haram. This is not sexual and it’s simply because I enjoy the laughter and it’s good stress relief.

Is the activity of allowing my male friend to tickle me (In a strictly NON sexual way) allowed is Islam.

Thank you.

Wait a second, are feathers and other such means utilized in the tickling? I think this will make a major impact on the fatwa.

I think this thread is along the same lines as that pedigree thread a week ago

As salam alaikum

How many of you youths who enjoy tickling each other are able to lift a 50lb weight over your head without strain?
How many of you youths who enjoy tickling each other have a reasonable degree of self defense skills so if you went outside in the street you could defend yourself, your parents, your siblings if the EDL come to your neighborhood?

How many of you can ride a horse at full speed, or shoot a gun/ bow?

Um, does anyone ride a horse and shoot a bow these days? Specifically in the UK or America?

Yeah, I know, I'm talking about the same gender

I used to tickle my cousin's feet, she absolutely hated it, she would say it was haram, I don't know why. Probably because of the humiliation and bullying, and the touching of her ticklish areas, but we used to do it with her mum and siblings, personally I think its fine, harmless fun

[Ndptbudd]

I like tickling my sister and cousins, would this be considered haram in a bullying way, or by humiliation? Even if its just fun, excessive tickling of ribs or feet?

Shabnam

I have come to the conclusion that although tickling in some circumstances would be acceptable, by in my circumstance, it would not be acceptable.

Every time I engage in such an activity, despite my best efforts to keep its as islamically acceptable as possible, bad things used to happen afterwards whether that is related or not to the tickling-I don't know, but it does seem like a kind of sign to stay away from such actions.

I will wait patiently till marriage where any such actions will definitely not be haram.
