   Ayatollah Khomeini On Ablution   
      
      
   During sexual intercourse, if the penis enters a woman's vagina or a   
   man's   
   anus, fully or only as far as the circumcision ring, both partners   
   become   
   impure, even if they have not reached puberty; they must consequently   
   perform their ablutions.   
      
      
   Note: Therefore, homosexuality and pedophilia are accepted in Islam.   
   Why then the punishment for homosexuality is death?   
      
      
   A man who has ejaculated and has not yet performed his ablution must   
   avoid   
   the following ten acts: eating; drinking; reading more than seven   
   verses of   
   the Koran; touching the binding of Koran, or the margin of its pages,   
   or   
   spaces between the lines; carrying the Koran on his person; sleeping;   
   dyeing   
   his beard with henna; anointing himself with grease or oil; having   
   sexual   
   intercourse after having ejaculated in his sleep.   
      
      
   If a man becomes aroused by a woman other than his wife but then has   
   intercourse with his own wife, it is preferable for him not to pray if   
   he   
   has sweated; but if he first has intercourse with his wife and then   
   with   
   another woman, he may say his prayers even though he be in a sweat.   
      
      
   A man who has ejaculated as a result of intercourse with a woman other   
   than   
   his wife, and who then ejaculates again while having coitus with his   
   wife,   
   does not have the right to say his prayers while still sweating; but   
   if he   
   has had intercourse with his wife first and then with a woman not his   
   wife,   
   he may say his prayers even though still sweating.   
      
      
   Note: If a man can have sexual relation with a woman who is not his   
   wife why   
   is adultery punishable with death by stoning? Is the woman only to be   
   blamed?   
      
      
   If a fly or any other insect settled first on something impure that is   
   moist   
   and then on something pure that is moist, the later in turns becomes   
   impure,   
   provided one can be certain that the former was impure; failing that,   
   it   
   remains pure.   
      
      
   Note: let¹s run after flies and insects to find out where they settle.   
      
      
   Besides the ablutions that are necessary and unavoidable there are a   
   number   
   of ablutions that are highly recommended in order to please God. A few   
   of   
   them are:   
   Ablution performed Friday between dawn and noon.   
      
      
   Ablution performed on the eve of the first day of Ramadan and the eves   
   of   
   all the odd days of that month, (third, fifth, seventh, and so on).   
   The   
   ablutions on the eves of the first, fifteenth, seventeenth,   
   nineteenth,   
   twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, and twenty-   
   ninth   
   days of Ramadan are especially recommended. On the eve of the twenty-   
   third   
   day, one would be well advised to perform two ablutions, one at the   
   beginning and the other at the end of the night.   
      
      
   Ablution performed by a woman who has used perfume for a man other   
   than her   
   husband.   
      
      
   Ablution of the man who has fallen asleep while in a drunken state.   
      
      
   Ablution of a man or woman who, during a total eclipse of the sun or   
   the   
   moon, have not   
   said their prayers.   
      
      
   Ablution of one who has witnessed the hanging of a person condemned to   
   death. If he did not witness it of his own free will, ablution is not   
   necessarily required.   
      
      
   Note: This is one way of keeping them clean.
