Home Hadith Hadith 292
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a man who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife but does not
discharge. He replied, "He should wash the parts which comes in contact with the private parts of the
woman, perform ablution and then pray." (Abu `Abdullah said, "Taking a bath is safer and is the last
order.")

I asked `Uthman bin `Affan about a man who engaged in the sexual intercourse with his wife but did
not discharge. `Uthman replied, "He should perform ablution like that for the prayer after washing his
private parts." `Uthman added, "I heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." I asked `Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-
Zubair bin Al-`Awwam, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah and Ubai bin Ka`b and they gave the same reply. (Abu
Aiyub said that he had heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) (This order was canceled later on so one has
to take a bath. See, Hadith No. 180).

`Aisha said, "We set out with the sole intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a
place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me while I was weeping. He
said 'What is the matter with you? Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a thing
which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the
exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Ka`ba." `Aisha added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives."
