It is recommended for the wife to keep a cloth, which she hands to the husband after he finishes so he may wipe himself with it. Aisha stated that a sensible woman should keep a cloth, hand it to her husband after intercourse, he wipes with it, then she wipes herself with it, and they may pray in that garment unless major ritual impurity (*janabah*) has occurred.
