Is it permissible for a man to have intercourse with his wife again immediately after ejaculation without performing ablution (wudu), in order to satisfy his lust, knowing that the Sunnah is to perform ablution before resuming intercourse?

It is recommended for someone who has had intercourse with his wife and wishes to have intercourse again to perform ablution (wudu') in between, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "If one of you comes to his wife, and then wishes to return, let him perform ablution between them." This ablution is more invigorating for the return. This is the view of the majority of scholars, who consider it recommended, unlike the Dhaahiriyyah who consider it obligatory.
