Chosen Islamic Manners

*Having intercourse is a right the husband must fulfill.
*Of the mannerisms one should abide by when having intercourse:

a. One should mention the name of Allah before having intercourse. The Prophet () said:

'Whenever any of you wants to approach their wife, let him say: 'Bismillah, Al'laahum'ma jan'nib-nash-shaitan wa jan'nib ash-Shaitan maa razaqtana.' (Bukhari & Muslim)

Meaning: I begin with the name of Allah. O Allah, keep the Satan away from us and keep the Satan away from what you have blessed us with.’ '

If Allah wills that the couple have a child, that child will never be harmed by Satan.'

b. It is praiseworthy for the couple to conceal themselves during intercourse.

c. It is praiseworthy for one to perform Wudhu, if he wants to have intercourse with his wife again. Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri () said that the Messenger of Allah () said:

'If one of you has had intercourse with his wife and then wants to approach her again, let him perform Wudhu.' (Muslim)
d. It is unlawful for one to reveal what happens between husband and wife to others. The Messenger of Allah () said:

'The most evil of people in rank on the Day of Resurrection are they who approach their wives and they approach them; thereafter, to reveal what had happened between them to people.' (Muslim)
