Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The eleventh question of the fatwa number ( 6292 )
Q 11: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding one who has intercourse with his wife before the forty days?
A 11: It is not permissible to have intercourse with a woman who is in post-natal bleeding until she is purified from her post-natal bleeding. Allah the Exalted said:
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 youفَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلاَ تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:222]
The woman in post-natal bleeding is in the same position as the menstruating woman, but if her blood stops before the completion of the forty days and then she purifies herself
with water or performs dry ablution with clean earth for an excuse, then it is permissible to have intercourse with her. The expiation for having intercourse with a woman in post-natal bleeding is the same as the expiation for having intercourse with a menstruating woman. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
