Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she asks: What is permissible for a man with his wife while she is menstruating?
Answer:
It is permissible for him to enjoy her through intimacy, caressing, and touching, except for intercourse in the private parts. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:222]
It is permissible for the husband to enjoy his wife in everything except intercourse in the private parts, by having her place a covering over the private parts or the area around them, and then he may have intimacy with her. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do with his wives when one of them was menstruating; he would order her to wear a waistcloth, and then he would have intimacy with her (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a contradiction of the Jews, who are strict regarding the menstruating woman and consider that what she wears, cooks, or touches is not permissible for them to use. Yes.
