Is it valid to perform ghusl after intercourse and then pray with it if urination does not follow?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One must perform (ritual bath) after intercourse, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if you are in a state of , then purify yourselves" (Al-Ma'idah: 6), and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "When he sits between her four parts and the two circumcised parts touch each other, then ghusl becomes obligatory." The emission of urine after intercourse is not a condition for the validity of ghusl. However, the one who performed ghusl should perform wudu (ablution) if anything is emitted from him after his ghusl.
