Husband . Wife . Sexual . Divorce . Menstruation (Haidh)

If a husband divorces his wife during a period of purity when he has had sexual relations with her and then takes her back, is this considered a valid divorce and reconciliation, even if two witnesses are present for the divorce?

Bismihi ta'ala

If he divorced while she was pure, but had sex with her as well during that time, prior to reciting the divorce, or after, the divorce would not have been valid.

Divorce needs to take place after a wife has her cycle, and is pure (fi tuhr ghayr muwaqa'ah).

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Sexual

Is it obligatory to perform Ghusl immediately after intercourse, or can it be done the next morning?

Bismihi ta'ala

It is not wajib to immediately do ghusl, and is permissible to postpone, as long as it will be done before the next wajib prayer, or in the case of the month of Ramadhan, before fajr.

However, it definitely is not a good thing to do, based on our ahadeeth. Hadiths say to do it immediately. Why would one choose to stay in the state of inner impurity? You cannot enter the mosque, recite parts of the Quran, touch the Quran. It is makruh to eat, or drink, or sleep, and all the other things that are makruh.

Why would one deprive himself/herself of many blessings of being tahir?

Therefore, best thing is to become accustomed to do ghusl straight away, and always try to be in state of taharah.

And Allah knows best

Therefore,

Does Ghusl al-Janabah become obligatory if I engage in foreplay or intercourse with my wife without ejaculating semen, for both of us?

Bismihi ta'ala

Ghusl janabah will not become wajib unless there is ejaculation, or penetration.

The amount of penetration is the glans penis, which is the tip or top portion of the penis (called ḥashafah).

If there is penetration, to that extent or more, ghusl janabah becomes wajib upon both husband and wife.

Will my hand become impure if I touch my bedsheets that have dried semen and precum on them after intercourse? Can I still pray on those bedsheets?

If your hand was dry and the Najis bed sheet was dry also, then your hand will not become Najis by such touching, Najasah (impurity) does not transfer between dry items. Najasah (impurity) transfers through transferring wetness only.الرطوبة المسرية.

Praying on such bed sheet is permissible when it is dry and your clothes and body touching it are dry as well, and you do not do Sajdah (Sojood) on the Najis part of the bed sheet.

Is Kaffara still obligatory on a man who was masturbating while fasting, and while not intending to reach ejaculation, did accidentally trigger climax which led to ejaculation and caused his fast to be broken?

If he knows that his masturbating can lead him to ejaculation by accident, his act of masturbation is a sinful act and he has to pay Kaffara along with Qadha of the fast if that day.

If ejaculation happens completely unintentionally then no Kaffara.

Wife . Breastfeeding . Sexual . Milk

Is it permissible in Islam for a husband to engage in sexual activities with his breastfeeding wife? If so, what is the ruling if he gets some milk in his mouth?

It is not permissible for the husband (according to obligatory precaution) to drink from the milk of his wife. Such act despite being not permissible, does not forbid the husband from sexual activities with his wife nor does it harm their marriage bond. If husband while his sexual activities with his wife gets some milk in his mouth, he should spit it out and avoid drinking it.
