If a man has intercourse with his wife and she begins menstruating during the act, what is required of him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Among the issues is if he has intercourse with his wife and she becomes confused during the time, and he ejaculates, is the expiation obligatory if we say it is obligatory for the one who is excused?
The Shaykh : The first one, in my view, has two versions: is the expiation obligatory for him, and is it obligatory for her? As for the second, if we say it is obligatory, the feminine form must be used, or rather, correct it; rather, it is an implied verb connected, yes.
The questioner : That is, the expiation is obligatory for him if we say it is obligatory for the one who is excused. Some of the companions derived it based on the withdrawal: is it intercourse or the omission of intercourse?
The Shaykh : Regarding the people. Regarding the withdrawal, it is a silent, quiet withdrawal; your silence is an affirmation, is it not? Yes, if it is not contradicted, it means the two versions are attributed, good.
The questioner : Some of the companions derived it based on the withdrawal, meaning it is the fluid or the omission of the fluids, and some derived it based on the issue of fasting. The more apparent view is that if he knows, by the custom, that the time of her menstruation is near, and then he has intercourse while fearing the sudden onset of menstruation, it is similar to the issue of fasting. Otherwise, there is no expiation, because the prohibition only attached to it after the existence of menstruation, and he omitted the act at that time. Likewise, it should be said regarding the reality in the night of fasting: if he thought the night would remain and that he had time in it, he did not break his fast, and if he feared the sudden onset of dawn, he broke his fast, because he proceeded to a disliked or forbidden act initially.
The Shaykh : The correct view is that there is nothing upon him in this case, meaning if he had intercourse with his wife while she was pure, and then she began menstruating during the act and he withdrew, there is nothing upon him, because he feared Allah and did what he was commanded to do.
