Having intimate relations more than once and delaying taking Ghusl

Q 2: Is it permissible for me to have sexual intercourse with my wife more than once on the same night then go to sleep without taking a bath?

A: It is permissible for a man to have sexual intercourse with his wife more than once on the same night. However, he must perform Wudu' (ablution) before the second time because of the following Hadith: When anyone amongst you has sexual intercourse with his wife and then intends to repeat it, he should perform ablution. Al-Hakim added: It gives more activity to the body. (Part No. 19; Page No. 350) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
