What is the interpretation of the Hadith: "Do the people of Paradise have sexual intercourse? He said: Yes, with an unfailing penis and an unceasing desire, vigorously, vigorously, but with no semen and no death. And do the people of Paradise have sexual intercourse? He said: Yes, and they eat and drink"?
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Will we have sexual intercourse in Paradise?" He said: "(Yes, by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, intensely, intensely. When he rises from her, she returns purified, a virgin)." "Intensely, intensely" means intense sexual intercourse, and this indicates the strength of desire and the perfection of pleasure for the people of Paradise.
As for the addition: "but without semen or death" in the narration of Al-Tabarani and Abu Nu'aym, it is weak. Its meaning is that no semen will be emitted from them and they will not die. The intention is to achieve perfect pleasure without impurity.
As for other wordings such as: "Yes, and they will eat and drink," and "with an unceasing penis and an unending desire, intensely, intensely," their chains of narration are weak or abandoned.
