Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the statement by some scholars that it is forbidden to have intercourse with her, meaning the menstruating woman, in the vagina, except for one who is overcome by sexual desire, provided the condition is met, as stated in the marginal notes of al-Rawd al-Murja'?
Answer:
Yes, it exists. Yes, what is meant is shubq, which is an illness, an illness of desire, where one cannot refrain from intercourse at all. Is it a dire necessity? Even if he does not have intercourse with his wife, he fears that his testicles will rupture, meaning his testicles; if he does not have intercourse, he fears that his testicles will rupture. This is an illness, may Allah protect us from it, that befalls a person. Is it a dire necessity? He has intercourse, because if he refrains from intercourse, there is danger. This falls under the category of dire necessity. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-An'am 6:119]. Yes.

إِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
