Allah, the Exalted, says:
"O you who believe! Approach not As Salah (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state until you know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. in a state of sexual impurity and have not yet taken a bath), except when traveling on the road (without enough water, or just passing through a mosque), till you wash your whole body." (Soorah Al-Nisa', 4:43)
And Allah says, commanding His Prophet Ayyub, peace be upon him:
"Strike the ground with your foot. This is (a spring of) water to wash in, cool and a (refreshing) drink." (Soorah Saad, 38:42)
Throughout history, man has discovered the great importance of cleaning his body by washing the entire body, and he has treated many diseases thereby, but history has never known a nation to whom this was prescribed in such a regulated manner as that with which Allah, the Exalted, honored the Ummah (nation) of Islam. The Muslims, as commanded by the All Wise Creator, wash their entire bodies when they enter this religion for the first time, even before uttering the twin declaration of faith that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; they have to wash their entire bodies after marital relations, and also every Friday morning and on the morning of the two Eids. A woman also has to wash her entire body after menses so that she will become pure. Allah the Exalted says:
"And go not unto them till they are purified (from menses and have taken a bath)." (Soorah Al-Baqarah, 2:222)
That is in order to remove whatever secretions from the uterus and germs have gotten onto the woman's body during the period. Modern medicine also advises bathing after intercourse for the following reasons,
• It stimulates the circulatory system in men and women, especially as intercourse leads to exhaustion of the nervous system after orgasm.
• Bathing helps to energize the body and raise morale, especially after intercourse which causes tiredness and the desire to sleep, and may cause depression in some individuals.
• During ejaculation, the skin secretes sweat with a high concentration of toxins, which may be reabsorbed and cause harm. So bathing cleanses the skin and its pores of these toxins.
• Thinking about the obligation to bathe after intercourse forces a person to be moderate in seeking intercourse and to thus preserve his sexual energy for longer. Scientists say that a person expends some of his vital elements during intercourse, the equivalent to what is contained in half a litre of blood.
It is also Sunnah to wash in between two acts of intercourse as is narrated in Saheeh Muslim from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him, said: "When one of you comes to his wife then he wants to repeat it, let him do Wudhoo."
The reason behind that is that bathing renews the energy of the body and mind, renews cleanliness and puts a person in the best state both psychologically and physically. And Allah knows best.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BATHING
---------------------------------------------------
Bathing in hot water
-----------------------
Bathing in hot water and in steam baths works to open all the pores of the body and consequently leads to all the cells in the body being able to breathe naturally. It is known that the cells of the human body need to breathe like any other living being. Bathing in warm water also renews worn out and exhausted cells, so the body gains energy and vitality, and the nerves become calm. If a warm bath is taken at night, it helps one to sleep naturally and deeply. A warm bath also aids in good digestion.
Bathing in cold water
------------------------
Bathing in cold water makes all the cells of the body, with its arteries and veins, contract after being relaxed. This helps them to become flexible, which protects against many diseases of the heart and circulatory system, energizes breathing and increases the potential for regulating the heartbeat and blood pressure. A cold bath is beneficial for the one whose body is active and is not suffering from problems in digestion. It may be used after hot water to strengthen the skin and give the body vitality and energy, so long as the water is not too cold.
Cold bath should not be used immediately after intercourse or immediately after eating, because of the danger that it may pose.
Bathing and massage
------------------------
Taking a bath and receiving a massage renews the body's energy in an amazing fashion. It renews the vitality continually and helps one to obtain a healthful and deep sleep.
It also alerts the senses, stimulates the circulation and helps to reduce the burden on the heart. It is recommended to take a bath using olive oil and to have a massage immediately after doing exercise.
