The Condition of Intercourse After Purification from Menstruation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a menstruating woman stops bleeding, is intercourse permissible immediately upon purification, or only after the ritual bath?

Answer:
Two things are required, as Allah mentioned: the first is the cessation of the blood, and the second is the act of purification. Allah the Exalted said:
And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to themوَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:222]
He thus conditioned their approach to you upon two conditions: until they are purified, meaning the menstruation has stopped, and when they are purified, meaning they have taken a bath. A compound condition consisting of two parts is not fulfilled by one of them alone; rather, both are required.
