Question:
If I have intercourse with my wife at night before going to sleep can I again have intercourse in the same night before doing ghusl after first intercourse?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to have intimate relations multiple times without going for a ghusl (shower) in between. It is preferable to have a ghusl in between each time a couple are intmate. If they do not perform ghusl, then one should perform wudhu or at least wash his private area. However, it is permissible to have further relations without even performing wudhu or washing his private area.[i]
Sayyiduna Anas ibn Mālik radiallahu anhu reports that the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam visited all his wives and performed only one ghusl.(Sunan Tirmidhi hadith no.130) [ii]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
