If a man says to his wife, “If you become pregnant, you are divorced,” is he permitted to have intercourse with her multiple times after her period ends?

The questioner : If a man says to his wife, “If you become pregnant, you are divorced,” we say that he should not have intercourse with her for every child she might conceive while she is menstruating.

The Shaykh : This goes against the default ruling. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted captive women who had menstruated once to be had intercourse with, even though it was possible that they were pregnant. So, whenever she becomes pure, the divorce is contingent on pregnancy. I mean, I said that it is not obligatory for him to have intercourse with her more than once after the divorce.

The questioner : After her period ends, yes.

The Shaykh : Is this once or one day, like an oath, more than once? No, only the first act of intercourse. Yes, only the first act of intercourse.
