Answer
Abu Sa'eed Khudhriy (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'When one of you comes to his wife (have conjugal relationship) and then wish to have another relationship with her, he should make Wudhu between the two relationships.' (Abu Dawud pg.29; Karachi)
The word, 'Wudhu' in this Hadith means to wash impurities around the private parts.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
