'''Copulation''' (Arabic: {{ia|الجِماع}}) is sexual intercourse between a human being and another human being or an animal. In Islamic jurisprudence, the words "jima'", "muwaqa'a", "waty" and "dukhul" are used to refer to copulation. The jurisprudential rulings of copulation are incumbent when penetration of the penis has occurred – at least to the size of circumcision. The jurists categorize copulation into three types: lawful, such as through marriage; forbidden, such as in adultery; and suspicious (by mistake), and propose different rulings for each. According to their "fatwa", copulation, on the front or in the back, causes "janaba", and to be cleansed from it, the person must perform ghusl of janaba. The prohibition of copulation between two men (''lawat''), two women (musahaqa), a human and an animal, as well as the reprehensibility of copulation with one’s wife from behind, are among the rulings regarding copulation.

==Definition and jurisprudential significance==
In fiqh, copulation is referred to by titles such as "jima", "muwaqa'a", ''waty'', and ''dukhul,'' which refer to the sexual intercourse of a human being with another human being or with an animal. The rulings of copulation are discussed in many parts of ''fiqh'', such as purity, fasting, ''i’tikaf'', ''hajj'', marriage, divorce, ''zihar'', ''ila’'' and ''hudud''. Of course, these rulings are specific to the copulation in which penetration of the penis has occurred – at least to the size of circumcision.

'''Lawful copulation'''
==Lawful copulation==
 
Copulation that takes place after the provision of its Islamic requirements is lawful. Religious requirements of lawful copulation are one of the following: permanent marriage, term-based marriage, ownership (owning a slave girl), or legalization (making sexual enjoyment of one’s slave girl lawful for another).

'''Suspicious copulation'''
==Suspicious copulation==
 
The copulation between a man and a woman, under the assumption that the religious requirements for copulation have been fulfilled, is called "suspicious copulation" or, in fiqh terminology, "waty by suspicion" (sexual intercourse by mistake), like when a man mistakenly copulates with a woman he thinks is his wife.

According to the fatwa of the jurists, there is no ''hadd'' [“prescribed punishment”] for suspicious copulation. Also, in it, the woman must wait the ''‘idda'' period, and she is entitled to receive the dowry. Of course, according to the author of Jawahir, if the mistake is only on the part of the man, that is, if the woman knows that she is not ''mahram'' with him, then she is not entitled to receive ''mahr al-mithl'' [“normal dowry”].
 
'''Forbidden copulation'''


Copulation that takes place without the realization of religious requirements and is done knowingly and voluntarily is called forbidden copulation. Some examples of forbidden copulation are adultery, ''lawat'', ''musahaqa'', copulation with an animal, and copulation during periods such as menstruation, ''nifas'', fasting, and ''ihram''.

A person who has had copulation, if he has penetrated at least to the size of circumcision, must perform ''ghusl'' of ''janaba'' for performing daily prayers and fasting.
