The Evidence for the Permissibility of Intercourse with a Menstruating Woman After the Blood Stops

The Shaykh : All right.

The questioner : What is the evidence for the statement that it is not disliked, O Muhammad? If they say that you have transferred this ruling from its original prohibition to dislike, and that there is no evidence for it. Yes. And even if a man is forbidden from his wife and he waits thirty days, this means hardship for him and his wife. So it is more appropriate that it be lawful and permissible. And Ibn 'Abbas said: If she has purified herself, she is lawful.

The Shaykh : Zayn, we say: We counter the statement of 'Uthman ibn Abi al-'As with the statement of whom? Ibn 'Abbas, who is more learned in jurisprudence than he. And we say: If prayer is permissible, and it is more severe and greater than intercourse, then intercourse is all the more permissible. Thirdly, we say: Your transfer of the ruling from prohibition to dislike requires evidence. Yes. And the statement of 'Uthman ibn Abi al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him) does not indicate dislike, because he may have abstained from it without it being disliked in his view. Perhaps he (may Allah be pleased with him) did so out of precaution, out of precaution, fearing that she had seen purity that was not true purity, or for other reasons. The important thing is that the correct view is that intercourse with her is permissible and there is no harm in it.
