The questioner:
The questioner says: I had intercourse with my wife during her menstruation. What is the ruling and the expiation?
The Shaykh:
You must repent to Allah. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, says:[Al-Baqarah 2:222] He forbade intercourse with a menstruating woman in her private parts until she becomes pure from menstruation and purifies herself from major ritual impurity. This means her bleeding stops and she purifies herself from major ritual impurity by taking a bath. If both occur—the cessation of menstruation and the bath—then it is permissible for her husband. However, if she becomes pure from menstruation but does not take a bath, she is not permissible for her husband. Yes.
