Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, my wife gets her period, but it stops after a certain period of time. Is it permissible for me to have intercourse with her during the time of cessation, knowing that it may return to her?
Answer:
If it stops completely and the period passes during which she is required to perform the full ritual bath and pray, and it is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her if the duration of the cessation is the length of a day or more, she must perform the full ritual bath and pray, and it is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her. But if the cessation is slight, only a few hours, and then it returns, this is not allowed; she is still menstruating. Yes.
