Summary
According to Shafi'i scholars, speaking during intercourse is makruh as a matter of etiquette, since silence is more fitting. An exception is made for speech directly related to the act and needed for it, such as asking the spouse to move forward or backward. Seductive words meant only to arouse desire are not covered by this exception, so they remain makruh.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut para ulama mazhab Syafie, bercakap ketika bersetubuh adalah makruh hukumnya.
