What is the rulings of Ghusl related to Hashafa (head of the penis)?
Query:
What is the ruling (of Ghusl) regarding the ‘Hashafa’?
Answer:
In the case where the ‘Hashafa’, in other words, the head of the penis was entered into the vagina or rear of a female or the rear of a male, it causes Ghusl to become Waajib upon both of them, whether it is done out of sexual arousal or not, or whether there was any emission of semen or not, on condition that both of them are Mukal’laf, i.e. adult with sense of understanding. If one of them is Baaligh, i.e. has reached puberty/adulthood then Ghusl is Fard on him and even though the Ghusl will not be Fard on a Na-Baaligh (minor), the command of Ghusl will still be given. For example, if the male is Baaligh and the girl is Na-Baaligh then Ghusl is Fard on the male but the female will also be commanded to make Ghusl. If the female is Baaligh and the boy is not Baaligh then Ghusl is Fard upon the female but the male will also be commanded to make Ghusl.
A Very Important Note: The above laws are being presented to show whether Ghusl to attain bodily purification is compulsory or not and numerous circumstances are presented here and in the rest of the book for the purpose of understanding. However, this does not mean that to do such things as entering a female from her rear (anus) or entering a male by another male or having an illicit sexual relation, or any other forbidden and cursed action is permissible. It is of utmost importance that this is kept in one’s mind throughout the book. Those who commit such acts are sinful and deserving of the Wrath of Allah.
