Copulation: Difference between revisions

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]].

According to the fatwa of the jurists, copulation, whether on the front or in the back, causes janaba. Copulation between two men and with animals also causes "janaba". Copulation and becoming "junub" has rulings; among them, it is forbidden to touch the words of the Qur'an, the name of God, and the names of Imams (a), staying in a mosque and reading the surahs of the Qur’an that require obligatory prostration. 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.
