The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of exponential decreasing suction on the MHD 3-dimensional laminar flow of an electrically conducting, viscous and incompressible fluid through a porous medium. The porous medium is bounded by an infinite flat plate and the flow becomes 3-dimensional due to the variation of suction velocity in transverse direction at the plate. A magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the free stream velocity with neglecting induced magnetic field, hall effects, electrical and polarization effects. Analytical expressions for velocity are obtained. The important characteristics of the problem, the skin friction and the components of velocity field are discussed in detail with the help of tables and graphs.
