Summary
In the jurists' usage, the glans (hashfa) is what lies beneath the skin cut in circumcision; a series of rulings depend on it in the matter of intercourse, such as the major ablution, the invalidating of fasting and the hajj, the full bridal gift, lawful return after triple divorce, the status of marriage, and the penalty for fornication, on each of which the schools differ in detail. 1 2 3 4 5 In a mistaken injury that severs the glans, the full blood-money is owed by agreement, and part of it for a partial severance according to the majority. 6
