Primary text

It is disliked to speak excessively during intercourse based on the narration of Qubaysah ibn Dhu'ayb that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 'Do not speak much when having intercourse with women, for from it may result stammering and stuttering (*al-khars wa al-fa'fa'a*).' Furthermore, speech is disliked during urination, and intercourse is similar in nature, thus warranting the prohibition even more so.
