Nine things are disapproved for a junub: 1.–2. eating and drinking; however, if one washes his face and hands and rinses his mouth, then eating and drinking are not disapproved; and if one only washes his hands, then the disapproval is lessened; 3. * reciting more than seven verses of the Qur’an that do not contain an obligatory sajdah; this is the opinion held by most jurists (mashhūr); 4. touching the cover, margins, or spaces between the writing of the Qur’an with any part of the body; 5.
keeping the Qur’an with oneself; 6. sleeping; however, if one performs wuḍūʾ, or on account of not having water one performs tayammum in place of ghusl, it is not disapproved; 7. dyeing hair with henna or something similar; 8. rubbing oil on the body; 9. having sexual intercourse after having a wet dream, i.e. after semen has been ejaculated in one’s sleep.
