Issue No. 2118- If a woman suckles several children from the milk of one husband, all of them will be maḥram to one another, and to the woman who has suckled them as well as to her husband. In case a man has more than one wife, and each one of them suckles a child fully, all the children become maḥram to each other as well as to the wives and the husband.

Issue No. 1345- Sexual intercourse invalidates the fast of both man and woman, even if only the male organ penetrates up to the point of circumcision and no semen is discharged. However, if the penetration is less than the point of circumcision without the discharging of semen or one doubts whether the male organ has entered up to the point of circumcision or not, his fast is valid.

Issue No.368- A person who has no water to do ghusl is allowed to have sexual intercourse with his wife before or even after the time of prayer and it suffices if he performs tayammum.
