The Prophet's guidance concerning sexual activity
His is the most effective guidance, as it preserves the health, completes satisfaction, and acquires the goals that this activity was meant to achieve.
Sexual intercourse is meant to achieve three essential goals: )
Reproduction and the preservation of mankind until the number of souls that Allah has ordered to come to this world is fulfilled and completed. Second, expelling the water (semen), which would cause harm if it remains inside the body. Third, satisfying sexual desire and
enjoying sex and the bounty that it represents. The last essential goal is the only one that will be satisfied in Paradise, because there will be no reproduction in Paradise nor accumulation of sperm that needs to be discarded.
The best doctors state that sex is one of the best methods to preserve good health. Galinus said, "The essence of the sperm consists of heat and air, and it is hot and wet because it is produced from the pure blood that feeds the essential organs,"
If this is how significant sperm is, one should realize that it should not be used or spent except to achieve reproduction or to legally rid the body of it when it gets old. When the sperm is congested in the body, it will cause certain ailments, such as obsession, madness, and epilepsy. Discarding it, on the other hand, helps cure many of these ailments. When the sperm is kept in the body for a long time, it becomes spoiled and turns into a toxic material that can cause certain ailments. This is why sometimes sperm is expelled from the body naturally.
Some of ours said, "Man should take care of three things: he should not ignore walking, so that when he needs it one day he is able to do it; he should not refrain from eating, because the intestines will shrink; he should not refrain from sexual activity, because if the well's
water is not drawn out, it will drain.”
In addition, Muhammad bin Zakariyya said, "Whoever ignores sex for a long time, his nerves will weaken, and their flowing will be blocked, and his penis will shrink. I have seen some people who did not have sex claiming to observe some kind of abstinence and their bodies became colder, their movements restricted and unexplainable depression touched them. Further, their appetite and digestive powers In addition decreased."
Sexual activity helps lower the gaze, repulse lust, allows one the ability to refrain from illegal sexual activity and In addition achieves these goals for the wife. When one uses his sperm in a legal manner, he will benefit himself and his wife in this life and the Next Life.
This is why the Prophet b used to fulfill his legal sexual desire, as he used to say:
"I was made to like women and perfume from your world."
Further, the Prophet b encouraged his nation to marry:
"Get married, because 1 will compete by your numbers with the other nations."
In addition, Ibn Ab'ass said: "The best of this
nation are those who have the largest number of wives (up to four)." * In addition, the Prophet b said:
"I marry women, eat meat, sleep, stand in Qiyam, fast and break my fast. Whoever ignores my Sunnab is not from my people."
Furthermore, he b said:
"O young men! Get married whoever can afford it, because it helps lower the gaze (from Jooking at what is prohibited) and protects the sexual organ (from illegal sexual activity). Those who cannot afford it should fast because fasting will cure them."
In addition, when Jabir married a matron woman, the Prophet b said:
"Why not have a virgin who fondles you and you fondle her."
In addition, [bn Majah narrated in his Sunan that Ibn Ab'ass related from the Prophet b that he said:
"We do not see a better resort for those who love each other than marriage."*
Muslim In addition narrated in his Sahih that Abdullah bin Umar related from the Prophet b that he said:
"The Life of this world is enjoyment, and the best enjoyment in the life of this world is a righteous wife."
The Prophet * used to encourage his nation to marry beautiful virgin women who are In addition religious. An-Nasa'y narrated that Abu Hurayrah said, The Messenger of Allah b was asked, 'Who among women is the best?’ He said:
"The one who would please him (her husband) if be looks at her, obeys him if he commands her and avoids disobeying him in what he hates concerning herself and his money."
In the Sahihain it is In addition narrated that the Prophet b said:
"The woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, position, beauty and religion. So marry the religious woman, may your hand be filled with sand (a good expression)."
The Prophet b In addition used to encourage marrying women who bare children and did not like marrying women who cannot bare children.
Abu Dawood narrated that Ma'gil bin Yasar said, "A man came to the Prophet b and said, 'I know of a beautiful, rich woman whom I want to marry, but she
does not bare children. Should I marry her?" He said, 'No.' The man came a second time, and the Prophet s& did not allow him. On the third time, the Prophet said:
"Marry the kind woman who bares children, for I will compete concerning your large numbers with to the other nations."
At-Termezey related from the Prophet b that he said:
"Four are among the tradition of the Prophets: marriage, using siwak (natural toothbrush), wearing perfume and dyeing with Henna."
The husband should first fondle his wife before having sex with her, by kissing her and sucking her tongue sometimes. The Messenger of Allah b used to do the same with his wives. Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan:
"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
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, 'O 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 AI-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.
