Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man is asking about a man who had intercourse with his wife while she was menstruating.
Answer:
It is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:222] Indeed, Allah loves those who turn in repentance and loves those who purify themselves. It is not permissible to have intercourse with a menstruating woman; it is forbidden. If he does it, he must repent and he must pay the expiation by giving a dinar in weight of gold, or half of it, to a poor person as expiation for what he did, along with repentance to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The woman is like him; the expiation is obligatory on her if she was submissive to him. But if he forced her against her will, then she owes nothing.

Answer:
It is forbidden. Allah the Exalted 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. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَThe woman is like him; the expiation is obligatory on her if she was submissive to him. But if he forced her against her will, then she owes nothing.
