The Ruling on One Who Declares Lawful What Allah Has Forbidden
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, you mentioned, for example, that one who declares lawful the intercourse with a woman during her menstruation has committed disbelief. Does this mean that declaring lawful anything Allah has forbidden, or the opposite, is considered disbelief?
Answer:
That which Allah has explicitly forbidden, yes, that which Allah has explicitly forbidden; indeed, if one declares it lawful, he has committed disbelief. It is forbidden for you to approach women during menstruation. If someone were to say, "No, menstruation is lawful," even though Allah said it is forbidden for you, he would be a disbeliever. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Baqarah 2:222], which encompasses all these anomalies.

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. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ
