عسیلہ

العُسَيْلة

In the lexicon, usayla means a drop of semen, a man's water, or the sweetness of intercourse; the term is a euphemism for intercourse ¹. The jurists agree that a woman divorced three times may not return to her former husband until she has married another man and he has separated from her, and that the second marriage must include consummation ¹. The least that suffices is the penetration of the glans with an erection; al-Hasan al-Basri also required emission, but the rest of the jurists disagreed ². Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab dissented on the requirement of consummation and, according to Ibn Abidin, later returned to the majority view ¹. Details are treated under «tahlil» ².
