{{main|Islamic hygienical jurisprudence}}
Sexual hygiene in Islam is a prominent topic in [[Islam]]ic jurisprudence (''[[fiqh]]'') due to its everyday nature. {{presentScholar|Ibn Abidin|13th|Hanafi}} explains:<ref>[[Radd al-Muhtar ala al-Dur al-Mukhtar]] [http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=1477&CATE=3] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310192035/http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=1477&CATE=3 |date=2007-03-10 }}</ref>	
<blockquote>When there is discharge of thick, cloudy white fluid (wady) (that exits before or after urinating) or unlustful discharge of thin, sticky, white fluid (madhy) caused by play or kissing, it requires [[ghusl]]. And [[wudu]].</blockquote>	
Regarding things that necessitates ghusl:
#sperm or female ejaculate that leaves its place of origin with desire [f: whether actual or effective], even if it exits the body without desire, even if without sexual intercourse;
#the head of the penis entering either private part of a living human being who is fit for sexual intercourse, even without any release of sexual fluids...” [al-Hadiyya al-`Ala’iyya (Gifts of Guidance, unpublished translation)]<ref>

After partaking in sexual activity where penetration or ejaculation occurs, both men and women are required to complete a full-body ritual [[Ablution in Islam|ablution]] known as ''[[ghusl]]'' in order to re-establish ritual purity before prayer.<ref>{{cite book |last=Ali |first=Kecia |title=Sexual Ethics and Islam: feminist reflections on Qur'an, hadith, and jurisprudence |year=2006 |publisher=Oneworld |location=Oxford}}</ref> ''Ghusl'' requires clean, odorless water that has not been used for a previous ritual and begins with the declaration of the intention of purity and worship.<ref name="Esposito">{{cite web |last=Esposito |first=John |title=Oxford Islamic Studies Online |url=http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t243/e4 |publisher=Oxford University Press |accessdate=3 May 2013 |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114153249/http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t243/e4 |archivedate=14 November 2016 }}</ref> A Muslim performing complete ablution then washes every part of his or her body.<ref name="Esposito"/> There are reports in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad which indicate that the pubic hairs should be removed, he had set a time limit of 40 days, and the hair should not be left any longer than that and he set a time limit of no more than forty days for trimming the moustache, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hairs and shaving the pubic hair.<ref>
