The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on intercourse during menstruation? Is there an expiation for one who does so knowingly?

The Shaykh:
What is the ruling?

The questioner:
The ruling on intercourse during menstruation.

The Shaykh:
Intercourse during menstruation is forbidden, and there is an expiation for it. He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure.وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:222]

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
Along with repentance to Allah. Yes.
