Part 39

"The Prophet bused to kiss 'A'esha and suck her tongue."

In addition, jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated:

"The Messenger of Allah b did not allow sexual intercourse before fondling (the wife)."

Sometimes, the Prophet sag would sleep with all 322

of his wives in one night and would only take one bath afterwards. Sometimes, the Prophet b would take a bath after sleeping with each of his wives. Muslim narrated in his Sahih that Anas said, "The Prophet b would sometimes sleep with all of his wives and take one bath afterwards." In addition, Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan that Abu Rafi’ the Prophet's servant, said, "The Messenger of Allah y&, once slept with all of his wives and took a bath after each time. I said, 'O0 Messenger of Allah b why not take only one bath afterwards?’ He said,

"This is more pure, cleaner, and better.”

It is allowed for those having sexual intercourse to have sex for a second time after they perform ablution. Muslim narrated in his Sahih that Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"When one of you sleeps with his wife and then wants to repeat, let him perform ablution."

Taking a bath or ablution after sex refreshes the energy and the strength and cleans whatever has remained during sex (semen, for example). It is In addition an act of purity and cleanness. The inner heat will In addition get back to its normal level of activity after it had been excited during sex. In addition, taking a bath satisfies what Allah prefers of cleanliness and discards its opposite (impurity), which Allah hates. Thus, taking a bath after

sex is one of the best acts that preserves ones health and strength.

Sex is best after your food has been digested

At that time the bodies' inner coldness, hotness, dryness and wetness are moderate. Sex is harmful when the stomach is full more than it is empty. Such is the case when the body feels excessive wetness, as compared to dryness, and heat as compared to coldness. In addition, one should have sex when the desire is ignited and thus the body is naturally ready to have sex, not because one just thought about it.

One should not ignite his sexual appetite when it is not naturally excited and should not force himself to have sex. In addition, when one feels that his sexual appetite is ignited, he should have sex to satisfy it. One ‘should avoid having sex with an old woman, the very young who are not ready yet for sex or do not desire it, an ailing woman, a woman who isn’t comely or a hated \woman. Having sex in such cases will weaken the strength and the sexual drive.

Some doctors made an error when they stated that having sex with a matron women is better for the health than with a virgin. This statement defies what the best minds have stated and goes against the nature of mankind in general. When one marries a virgin, his heart will be

fulty dedicated to her and will be filled with her love, In addition, he will not divide the type of love he reserves for her with any other women (who he marries later on). This is why the Prophet b said to Jabir ‘is a Virgin?"

The women of Paradise, the Horn's, have not been touched by any person before their future, believing husbands in Paradise, a bounty from Allah that makes them more appealing. In addition, A'esha once said to the Prophet b ;

"If you pass by a tree that has been grazed on and a tree that is still untouched, which one would you allow your camel to graze on?" He said, "The tree that is still untouched by grazing."

She meant that he did not marry a virgin woman except her.

Having sex with a woman that one loves will not weaken the body and will expel the semen more effectively. Having sex with a woman that one does not like will weaken his strength and will not expel sufficient amounts of the semen congested in the body.

Having sex with a woman who is having her period is not allowed in the religion and by the nature of things, as it is very harmful and all doctors warn against it.

Furthermore, we should state that the best sexual position is for the man to get on top of his wife after having fondled ard kissed her. This is why the woman is sometimes called "Firash (mat, or bed)". The Prophet once said,

"The son belongs to the Firash."

This (a sexual position that we mentioned above) is a part of man's being responsible for the woman, as Allah said:

sal (M8) LST Je Zn Ve yl}

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of

In addition, Allah said:

pot fe eee ey 5.8 (VAY) Soa) Gold p15 BN old Ga >

"They (women) are labooson [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e., you enjoy the pleasure of living with her) for you, and you (men) are Libas for them."

The favored sexual position that we mentioned is taken from the beautiful description the Ayah gave for the

wife and her husband of being the garment or the cover for each other.

The worst sexual position is for the woman to get on top of the man during sex, because it is against the natural way that Allah has created men and women and males and females. In this case, the man will not be able to ejaculate all of the semen and whatever remains will get soiled and harm his body. In addition, this position might allow some harmful moisture to descend from the woman's sexual organ to the penis. In addition, the womb would not be able to hold on to the semen in this position and thus conception will be more difficult. Further, the woman is and should be the receiving party and when this position is tumed around and she becomes the giver, the act will go against the natural way.

It was reported that the People of the Scripture used to have sex with their wives while leaning on their sides, saying that this position is the most comfortable for the women.

As for Quraish and the Ansar, they used to have sexual intercourse with their woman from behind (in the vagina), and the Jews criticized them for this practice. Afterwards, Allah revealed:

te, ei pt ET aoe Jb. asi (YY) € AE GAS 16 IES S415 y

"Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will..." (2:223)

In the Sahihain it is In addition narrated that Jabir ” Ai * said, "The Jews used to say that if a man had sex with his wife from behind in the womb the offspring would be cross-eyed. Then Allah revealed:

"your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will..." (2:223)

In another narration of this Hadith by Muslim, the Prophet as commented (on the Ayah),

"If you wish from behind and if you wish from the front, but only in one valve (i.e. the vagina)."

Anal sex with the wife was never allowed by any Prophet, and it is a grave error that some people relate that some of the Salaf allowed men to have anal sex with their wives.

Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunon that Abu Hurayrah related from the Prophet at that he said:

"Cursed be the person who has sex with a woman in her anal canal."

In addition, Ahmad and Ibn Majah narrated that the Prophet b said:

"Allah does not look at the person who has sex with his wife in her anal canal."

At-Termezey and Ahmad mentioned another narration of this Hadith in which the Prophet b said:

"Whoever has sex with a woman during her period or in her anal canal, and whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes in him will have committed disbelief in what Allah has sent down to Muhammad."

In another narration of Al-Bayhaqi, the Prophet b

"Whoever has sex with a man or a woman in the anal canal will have committed Kufr (disbelief)."

Furthermore, it was narrated that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"Allah is not shy to say the truth; Do not have sex with women in their anal canals."

In addition, At-Termezey narrated that Talq bin Ali said that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"Do not have sex with women in their anal canals. Allah does not shy away from saying the truth."

Further, Ibn ‘Adi narrated in his book, Al-Kamil,

——— The Prophetic Medicine

that Abdullzh bin Mas'ud related from the Prophet * that he said:

"Do not have sexual intercourse with women in the anal canals."

Abu Than’ In addition related from the Prophet b that he said:

“Whoever has sexual intercourse with men or women in their anal canals, will have committed disbelief."

In addition, Isma'il bin Aiyash narrated that Jabir said that the Prophet bsaid:

"Be shy with Allah, but Allah is not shy to say the truth: Do not have sex with women in their anal canals."

In addition, Ad-Darqutni narrated this Hadith using another chain of narrators and it reads:

“Allah is not shy to say the truth: anal sex with women is not allowed."

Al-Baghawi In addition narrated that once Qatadah was asked about the person who has sex with his wife in her anal canal, and Qatadah related from the Prophet s& that he said:

That is the smalI sodomy (or homosexuality.

Imam Ahmad In addition narrated that Ibn Ab‘ass said:

"Your wives are a tilth for you ..." (2:223)

"The Ayah, was revealed regarding some people from the Ansar. They came to the Prophet “ and asked him and he said, 'Have sex with your wife however you like, but avoid anal sex."

In addition in the Musnad Imam Ahmad it is narrated that Ibn Ab'ass said that Umar bin Al-Khattab came to the Prophet b and said: "O Messenger of Allah b I am destroyed." The Prophet m, said, "What has destroyed you?" ‘Umar said, "I tumed over my Firash (mount, woman) last night (had sexual intercourse from the back in the vagina)." The Prophet b did not answer him. Soon after, Allah revealed:

"Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you wish (2:223)

The Prophet b said:

"Do it from the front and from behind if you wish, but avoid menstruation and the anal canal."

Furthermore, At-Termezey narrated that Ibn 331

Ab'ass related from the Prophet b that he said:
