Iran: Condoms on sale in public places

Tehran, 18 April (AKI) – Five automatic condom dispensers have been installed in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

“From these automatic dispensers, you can buy condoms as well as syringes,” said Mohammad Reza Jahani, head of a centre that is fighting drug dependence.

In the past, Iran provided free syringes to drug addicts, but promoting condom use to avoid the spread of sexual diseases during sex is unprecedented.

Anyone who has sexual relations outside marriage faces severe punishment under the law.

According to the latest statistics on the fight against drug addiction, at least 1.3 million Iranians use drugs on a daily basis.

Of the total, 45 percent of Iranian drug addicts regularly use heroin and crack, 8 percent have substituted drugs with methadone tablets, while the rest smoked opium. Last year nine people died each day from drug use, according to official sources.

I don’t think the use of it is haram but availability of it off the counter is a definite no -no in Islam as it encourages adultery.
