The Obligation of the Full Ritual Bath for a Man Who Intercourse with His Wife, Even If He Does Not Ejaculate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man has intercourse with his wife and does not ejaculate, is the full ritual bath obligatory for him?

Answer:
Yes, whenever a man has intercourse with his wife such that the circumcised parts touch, the full ritual bath becomes obligatory for him, even if no fluid comes out of him. This is based on what is established in the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the command to do so. Among what has been reported in this regard is the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When a man has sexual intercourse, bathing becomes obligatory (both for the male and the female). In the hadith of Matar the words are: Even if there is no orgasm.إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع ثم جهدها فقد وجب عليه الغسل وإن لم ينزل
Sahih Muslim 348a
It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and this is the wording of Muslim. And from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When anyone sits amidst four parts (of the woman) and the circumcised parts touch each other a bath becomes obligatory.إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع ومس الختان الختان فقد وجب عليه الغسل
Sahih Muslim 349
And from her (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a man who has intercourse with his wife and then feels lazy, so the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I used to do this with this one—meaning Aisha—and then we would perform the full ritual bath.كنت أفعله مع هذه -يعني عائشة- ثم نغتسل
Muslim reported both of them in his Sahih.
