What is the ruling on intercourse with a menstruating woman in any area other than the vagina?

The questioner : Okay, in any area other than the vagina, brother. I mean, is your side present? Yes. The one who does not… direct contact in any area other than the vagina. Okay, and what about below the waistband? He said: What is above the waistband.

The Shaykh : Based on the indication of the implied meaning, but there is no doubt that one who cannot control himself must stay away from what is prohibited. Okay, Ayyah Hind. Yes. Yes. It might be said, but someone might ask: “Do not approach them.” “Do not approach them until it becomes clear.” The phrase “Do not approach them” may intend this as blocking the means to harm. This is why, when it was said “Do not approach zina,” it became forbidden for a man to look at a non-mahram woman, out of fear of falling into it.
