Chapter of Ghusl: Its Causes and Description - Intercourse Obligates Ghusl (Cause No.4)

-The entering of the head of the penis into the vagina obligates Wudhoo. Al-‘Uthaymeen explains that this is the second obligator of the Wudhoo mentioned in the book (Zaad al-Mustaqni’ which is a book based on the Hanbalee Madhab of which this series is an explanation of).

As soon as the head of the penis disappears into the vagina, even if any one of the spouses do not climax, Ghusl becomes obligatory upon them both.

The evidences for this include the following:

-          The Hadeeth of Aboo Hurayrah [may Allaah be Pleased with him] who said that the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “If you sit in between the arms and legs of the woman and he enters her, then Ghusl has become obligatory.” [Reported by al-Bukhaaree (291) and Muslim (348)]

Muslim (348) reported the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] saying, “Even if they do not ejaculate.”

A – this doesn’t include hermaphrodites because their genitals are not connected to any particular gender. So if a person has intercourse with them then there is no Ghusl (unless they ejaculate) as they have no recognizable genitals. 

B – The same ruling applies even if the person enters the wrong passage, despite this action being Haraam. The evidence is that if Halaal intercourse obligates Ghusl, then entering the wrong whole is even more binding.

C – If a man enters with a light barrier then Ghusl is obligatory as the private parts have met. But the scholars have differed on this:

-Some said there is no Ghusl, irrespective if the barrier is thick or thin. This is the opinion of the Hanbalees.

-Some said there is always Ghusl as the long as the man enters. This is the opinion of the Shafi’ees.

-The correct opinion is the third one, that if the barrier is thin then Ghusl is Waajib otherwise not, this is the opinion of the Maalikees.


This ruling is extremely important because many believe that Ghusl is only obligatory if any one of the spouses ejaculate.
