The ruling on having intercourse with a woman after the bleeding stops but before she takes a bath

Question : If someone were to ask: What do you say about intercourse? Is it permissible?

Answer : We might say yes, we might say yes, just as it is permissible for a woman to have intercourse with her husband if she is in a state of major ritual impurity; this is the same case.
We say no, this is an analogy that contradicts the explicit text. The text says Allah the Exalted said: . Here, if someone were to say that the meaning of His saying "when they have purified themselves" is that they washed away the trace of the blood, meaning they washed away the trace of the blood, then she would wash the trace of the blood and remain like one in a state of major ritual impurity, like one in a state of major ritual impurity.
We said that some scholars, such as Ibn Hazm, held this view, that the meaning of "when they have purified themselves" is when they clean themselves from the trace of menstruation. So if the woman washed her private parts and cleaned herself, it would be permissible to have intercourse with her. But we say that purification from the state of ritual impurity is not achieved except by taking a bath. Our evidence is His saying, the Exalted: .
And He said, the Exalted: . Accordingly, the meaning of His saying "when they have purified themselves" is that they have taken a bath. . Divorce during menstruation is not valid; it is forbidden. And if she has purified herself but has not taken a bath, it is permissible for her husband to divorce her. Yes.
