If I have not had sexual intercourse with my husband but we have been intimate with each other in other ways, does it make our marriage consummated? And do I need to observe Iddah after divorce?

Intimate acts which do not include sexual intercourse do not mean that the marriage has been consummated. Marriage is consummated when sexual intercourse takes place. If there was no sexual intercourse, there will be no Iddah after divorce. Obviously you will then be entitled of half of the agreed Mahr, while if marriage was consummated, you will be entitled to the full Mahr.

Bismihi ta'ala

If the marriage has not been consummated, there will be no 'iddah for divorce and the wife will be entitled to half the mahr.

Consummating means sexual intercourse, and so there would be 'iddah if (1) there is intercourse, or (2) the husband's seminal fluid (somehow) entered the wife's vagina.

And Allah knows best.

Wedding . Divorce . Iddah . Marriage . Sexual

I had my Nikah last year following which my husband and I got intimate before the planned wedding reception. Now we are about to get a divorce before that reception. Do I need to observe Iddah and inform the elders about this situation?

Bismihi ta'ala

Because the marriage was consummated, you would need to observe 'iddah of divorce. As for informing elders, that would be at your discretion.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Sexual . Salah (Prayers) . Sawm (Fasting)

When I was younger I did not know about Ghusl Janabah and I realize now that some of my Salat or Sawm may have been affected. What should I do now?

If you doubt whether your previous prayers and fasting were performed with or with out Ghusl of Janabah, then you do not need to re do it, but if you are sure that you did not perform Ghusl of Janabah, then you need to re do it as Qadha.

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

If you know that the white fluid is semen then you must perform the ghusl al janabah. If you also feel ejaculation after sexual excitement which causes this white liquid to come out then you do ghusl.

May Allah grant you success

Ghusl . Sexual

Is Ghusl of Janabah required after every intercourse or can it be done at the end of multiple ones within the same night?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

One may have intercourse with their spouse as many times as they wish without having to do a ghusl for each time separately.

After one is finished, the single ghusl they perform makes them have spiritual purity once again to perform the religious duties.

May Allah grant you success

It is not haraam to recite Quran in a state of janabah unless it is the sajdah ayahs, however it is nicer and more respectful to be in a state of ritual purity.

Allah does not punish people for things they do due to accident or forgetfulness.

However you should make up the prayers done in the state of janabah.

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. This answer is from the website of Ayatullah Sistani (hA):

Question: Does a woman enter the state of Janabah, if she reaches orgasm without penetration?

Answer: As for the fluid that is discharged from the vagina when a woman engages in foreplay or imagines lustful thoughts and which is not enough to dirty other places [such as her clothing], it is pure and does not require Ghusl to be performed and nor does it invalidate Wuḍū. However, if the discharged fluid is a lot – to the extent that it can be called an ‘ejaculation’ and it dirties clothing – then in case it is discharged when the woman reaches sexual climax and complete sexual satisfaction (orgasm), it is impure and causes Janābah. In fact, even if it is not discharged at that moment, based on obligatory precaution it is impure and causes janābah. And whenever a woman doubts whether or not a discharge of fluid was to this extent, or she doubts whether or not fluid was discharged at all, performing Ghusl is not obligatory on her and nor does it invalidate Wuḍūʾ and Ghusl.

Husband . Wife . Sexual . Children . Makruh

Is there any evidence that it is Makrouh for the husband to look at the private part of his wife when trying to conceive a child? If so, is that the case even in general sexual acts? What is the reason for it being Makrouh?

Every Makrouh is harmful but not Haraam. Allah knows the details of the harm which might be unknown to us.

We have Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA) stating that it is Makrouh. It is not only when trying to conceive a child but it is Makrouh in any sexual intercourse.
