Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I say, O Shaykh: The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 610Sahih (Darussalam) In the hadith, is the full ritual bath obligatory even if there is no penetration, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is not possible for him to exert himself with her, O man, unless he has intercourse. It appears that you are not married.
The questioner : I am married, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In a lesson, O Shaykh, one of the students of knowledge said this, and it seemed as if he was saying: It is not obligatory.
The Shaykh : No, no, it is obligatory, it is obligatory. But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used euphemisms for things he was shy to mention directly, using what indicates them. Yes, we ask Allah to grant you a wife so that you may know her exertion.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : The time has ended now. And Glory is to You, O Allah, our Lord, and with Your praise. I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance. And peace be upon everyone, and handshakes with our hearts. And we proceed to the mosque, if Allah wills.
