 Issues of Janabat ( Impurity due to Sexual Intercourse)
This is a very … topic, but we have to read, follow and EDUCATE others please!!
Before I begin, I would like to define some words I would be using in the post, as it would make it easier for me and you to read and understand:-
Janabat- sexual Intercourse
Junbi- a person who has had sexual Intercourse but has still to take the bath and purify oneself.
 So let’s begin—
Men and women both have wet dreams ( a discharge in the night , while sleeping) . In such a case, its mandatory to take a bath to purify oneself.
If a person has a problem of discharge in normal days and timings, then it’s considered a sickness and one can wash the concerned area( penis) and do wu’zu and pray.
Hazrat Ali (r.a) had this problem. [ Bukhari 5#269 4 #178]

 Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual intercourse with his wife, says: 'Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna-sh-shaitan, wa jannibi-sh-shaitan ma razaqtana,' and if the couple are destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation), then Satan will never be able to harm that child." Bukkari  (Book #75, Hadith #397)
It’s “liked” for a person to do wu’du between 2 sexual intercourses. If one has a sexual intercourse and then feels like having another one soon after wards, one can do WITHOUT taking a bath. It’s better to do wu’zu but neither it’s a fard nor its wajib.
When one starts taking a bath to purify oneself after janabat, then one should first wash hands and then put them inside the vessel containing the water. The water doesn’t become “unclean” if a junbi puts his hand in the vessel. It can be used for wu
‘zu and other purposes.
The belief that a “person” becomes “na paak” and should not touch anything is not correct.
If a person is ‘na paak” but he /she can touch anything they want as long as they don’t have anything “najas” on them.
The Prophet s.a.w did wu’zu with the the same water from the same vessel that  a woman had used to take a bath after sexual intercourse. [Ahmed]
Talking, answering or saying salam is allowed with still in the state if janaba.
In Ramadan , or if we are planning on fasting on general days, if a person has sexual intercourse and sleeps with taking a bath. And gets up late for sehri, then its best if a person does wu’zu first and then takes sehri..but time is really less then washing hands is also alright and then should eat their sehri and if the azaan is called, should take a bath and then pray fajr and continue the fast.
The prophet s.a.w used to make wu’zu and sleep or eat after intercourse with his wives.[ Muslim]. Its not a fard or wajib. Its Mushtaab( liked).
A Junbi( a person who has intercourse and has not yet taken a bath) CAN pass through the mosque , BUT , can NOT stay. [Syed Bin Mansur]
While still in the state of janaba, a person can do zikr e illahi, read the duas for sleeping , wakening, wakening in the middle of the night, ayatul kursi etc.[Muslim]

Reciting the Quran and teaching it is NOT allowed while still in the state of Janaba.
A normal ( non junbi and no menses ) can read Quran without making wu’zu. Just don’t touch the pages.
The Prophet s.a.w taught the Quran in all states EXCEPT in the state of janaba.
The Prophet s.a.w also sometimes, washed his private parts, made wu’zu and went to sleep [Bukhari]
The Prophet also slept without taking a bath and got up and took a bath [Muslim 3 # 603]
Some times he would NOT do wu’zu also [Ibn Maja]
THE MANNER OF GHUSL E JANABAT ( BATH AFTER INTERCOURSE):
Wash hands first
Then wash private parts
Make wu’zu and complete the bath.
A woman can breast feed her child in the state of Janabat.
We can wear the same clothes that we were wearing before intercourse, after we take a bath. As long as there is no filth( sperm or female discharge ) on it.

The point to be noted here is this that ITS BEST TO TAKE A BATH RIGHT AFTER sexual intercourse. BUT,  if due to any reason we cannot do that, then the other means are given.  So, one should utilize these means, only when in need and NOT make it habit.
These simple steps are simple ways of doing what we have been doing, and gain sawab.
And we make the niyat of ALL our intentions to please our Rabb then inshallah the sawab is going to increase, as Allah is “All Forgiving  and All Merciful”

  1. How can you refer to sperm as filth or even najis? especially as it is what creates the baby? can you please explain this with hadith reference?
