Copulation: Difference between revisions

'''Copulation''' (Arabic: {{ia|الجِماع}}) is sexual intercourse between a human being and another human being or an animal. In 0[[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 [[mujtahid|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 [[anaba]], 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 [[makruh|reprehensibility]] of copulation with one’s wife from behind, are among the rulings regarding copulation.
