Question

Can a man and woman eat, drink and cook when they slept together and need a ghusl?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to eat, drink and cook after having intimate relations prior to taking a ghusl (ritual bath).  However, it will be better if somebody washes his mouth and hands prior to consuming anything.[i] 

It will not be permissible for a person in janābah (ritual impurity) to[ii]:

1)     Perform salāh

2)     Recite an āyah of the Qur῾ān

3)     Touch the Qur῾ān

4)     Enter the masjid

5)     Perfrom tawāf  (circumambulation of the ka῾bah)

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
