What is the intention for praying two rak'ahs upon entering with one's wife, and is it considered part of the Sunnah of marriage, and what is the correct time for the supplication of intercourse?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The aforementioned supplication is to be recited before intercourse, whether before, during, or after the foreplay. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If he comes to his wife," meaning if he intends to have intercourse. This is further supported by Abu Dawud's narration: "If he intends to come to his wife."
