What is the ruling on premature ejaculation? And how can a man continue intercourse until his wife reaches climax, despite the flaccidity and weakness that afflicts him after ejaculation, in accordance with the Prophetic حديث (Hadith) that advises against a man withdrawing until his wife reaches climax?

When a man has intercourse with his wife, he should not hasten her if he has reached climax before her. Rather, he should give her time until she satisfies her need and her desire is fulfilled, for this is a sign of good treatment and helps her maintain her chastity. It is recommended to fondle the wife before intercourse to prepare her and to allow her desire to reach the same level as her husband's. If the man is prone to premature ejaculation, it is advisable for him to seek treatment that slows down ejaculation. One can also benefit from books that address issues related to marital relations.
