Islamic Questions & Answers
My question is that how soon after havin sex should a
bath be taken. We have heard that everythiong you do
before having bath like walk or cook is haram.Is it ok
to take bath before your next prayer. God bless you
for your services.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no set time limit within which a woman who is
junub has to do ghusl. It has to do with the
performance of prayers and other acts of worship where
tahaarah (purity) is required. There is no harm in
delaying ghusl until the time for the next prayer
comes, so long as the prayer before it has been
performed in a state of tahaarah. But it is
recommended for the Muslim to hasten to do ghusl so
that he will always be in a state of tahaarah, as is
the Sunnah, and because the angels do not come near a
person who is junub. The Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are three things
which the angels do not approach: the dead body of a
kaafir, a man who has perfumed himself with saffron
(because this is frivolous and foolish behaviour, and
is an imitation of women – Qayd al-Qadeer, 3/325), and
a person who is junub, until he does ghusl." (Narrated
by Abu Dawood, 4180; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani
in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 3522).
If a woman is busy and it is not easy for her to do
ghusl from janaabah straight after intercourse, this
does not affect her and she is not naajis. It is
sufficient for her to do wudoo', to reduce the
janaabah and so that the angels will come near her.
The claim that some people make, that it is haraam for
a woman who is junub to touch things and to do certain
things, is all innovated (bid'ah) and false ideas
which have no basis in Islam. This false belief is
based on false and fabricated ahaadeeth that have been
narrated on this topic. Shaykh al-Shuqairi (may Allaah
have mercy on him) said: among these false ideas is
the notion that if a woman who is junub kneads dough,
it become corrupt because of her janaabah, and that
the barakah (blessing) will vanish from everything her
hand touches. (Al-Sunan wa'l-Mubtada'aat, p. 31).
A similar question was submitted to al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah
wa'l-Buhooth (5/318 – al-Fataawaa). The text of their
response is as follows:
Praise be to Allaah Alone, and blessings and peace be
upon His Messenger and his family and companions.
Yes, it is permissible for a person – whether a man or
a woman – who is junub to touch things such as
clothes, plates, pots, etc., before doing ghusl,
because this person is not naajis and does not make
the things he or she touches naajis. It was reported
in a saheeh hadeeth that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) was with the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) one day; then he
withdrew from him, then he came back. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to
him: "Where were you, O Abu Hurayrah?" He said, "I was
junub and I did not want to sit with you when I was
not taahir (pure)." The Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "Subhaan Allaah, a Muslim
does not become naajis." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
1/333).
And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless
our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions and
grant them peace.
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
