Question

 

It is now more common knowledge that Men are capable of having multiple orgasms by training themselves to experience Non-Ejaculatory full-body orgasms (NOT to be confused with retrograde ejaculation). The obvious benefit is the ability to last as long as they want (because there’s no refractory period), consequently earning the reward of pleasing their wife (by the will of Allah).

 

My question is regarding whether or not there is anything that might be of worry from a fiqhi perspective when it comes to Non-Ejaculatory Orgasms (NEO). For example, consider the following scenarios.

 

If a person experienced an NEO without penetrative sex during foreplay, will ghusl be required?

 

If a person masturbates till a NEO but not till ejaculation would that be equally sinful as traditional masturbation?

 

Will Ghusl be required in the NEO due to the masturbation case?

 

After how much time will one single continuous session of penetrative sex with one’s wife be deemed excessive? (30m?, 1h?, 2hs?)

 

If there are some important questions which  I missed, please answer that as well.

Answer 

 

Non-Ejaculatory Orgasms (NEO) and Ghusl during Foreplay

 

According to the Hanafi school, ghusl becomes obligatory when ejaculation occurs or when there is sexual intercourse (i.e., the head of the male organ enters the female organ), even without ejaculation. However, if there is a non-ejaculatory orgasm during foreplay without penetration, then ghusl would not be required, as the condition for ghusl is either ejaculation or penetration.

 

If there is any discharge of pre-seminal fluid (mady), wudu (ablution) would be required, but not ghusl.

 

Masturbation and NEO (Non-Ejaculatory Orgasm)

 

Masturbation is considered impermissible (haram). Even if no ejaculation occurs during masturbation, the act itself is still sinful.

 

Therefore, achieving a non-ejaculatory orgasm through masturbation would be equally sinful as traditional masturbation because the impermissibility stems from the act, not the result (i.e., ejaculation).

 

 

Ghusl Requirement after NEO due to Masturbation:

 

Ghusl is only obligatory if ejaculation occurs. If a person masturbates until a non-ejaculatory orgasm without any discharge of semen, ghusl would not be required though wudu would be needed if any pre-seminal fluid is discharged.

 

 

Excessive Length of Penetrative Sex with One’s Wife:

 

Islam does not prescribe a maximum or minimum duration for sexual relations between a husband and wife. The primary focus is on mutual satisfaction, respect, and fulfilling the rights of one’s spouse.

 

 

As long as the relationship is consensual, there is no fixed time limit that would be considered excessive. However, a couple should be mindful of each other’s physical limits and well-being. If the wife is content and there’s no harm, there’s no issue with a long session, whether it lasts 30 minutes, 1 hour, or more.

 

 

In summary:

 

Ghusl is not required for non-ejaculatory orgasms unless there is penetration or ejaculation.

 

Masturbation is still impermissible, regardless of whether ejaculation occurs.

 

There is no fixed duration for sexual relations; the focus is on mutual pleasure and well-being.

مراقي الفلاح شرح نور الإيضاح (ص: 42)

يفترض الغسل بواحد من سبعة أشياء خروج المني الى ظاهر الجسد إذا انفصل عن مقره بشهوة من غير جماع وتواري حشفة”. 

 

 

مراقي الفلاح شرح نور الإيضاح (ص: 43)

“و” منها “توارى حشفة” هي رأس ذكر آدمي مشتهى حي احترز به عن ذكر البهائم والميت والمقطوع والمصنوع من جلد والأصبع وذكر صبي لايشتهي والبالغة يوجب عليها بتواري حشفة المراهق الغسل”.

“والثاني: إيلاج الفرج في الفرج في السبيل المعتاد سواء أنزل، أو لم ينزل؛ لما روي أن الصحابة -رضي الله عنهم – لما اختلفوا في وجوب الغسل بالتقاء الختانين بعد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان المهاجرون يوجبون الغسل، والأنصار لا، بعثوا أبا موسى الأشعري إلى عائشة -رضي الله عنها- فقالت سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إذا التقى الختانان، وغابت الحشفة وجب الغسل أنزل، أو لم ينزل»، فعلت أنا ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واغتسلنا، فقد روت قولًا، وفعلًا”.

“في الجوهرة: ‌الاستمناء حرام، وفيه التعزير. ولو مكن امرأته أو أمته من العبث بذكره فأنزل كره ولا شيء عليه.”

 

الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (3 / 6):

“قلت: وكذا فيما يظهر لو كان لا يمكنه منع نفسه عن النظر المحرم أو عن ‌الاستمناء بالكف، فيجب التزوج، وإن لم يخف الوقوع في الزنا.”

“ويسقط حقها بمرة ويجب ديانة أحياناولا يبلغ الإيلاء إلا برضاها، ويؤمر المتعبد بصحبتها أحيانا، وقدره الطحاوي بيوم وليلة من كل أربع لحرة وسبع لأمة. ولو تضررت من كثرة جماعه لم تجز الزيادة على قدر طاقتها، والرأي في تعيين المقدار للقاضي بما يظن طاقتها نهر بحثا.”
