Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it permissible for a woman who has become pure from menstruation to delay the ritual bath for several days after her purity?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to delay the ritual bath. Rather, it is obligatory for her to hasten to perform the ritual bath for the sake of prayer, so that she can pray, and also for the sake of her husband so that he may enjoy her, because it is not permissible for him to enjoy her or have intercourse with her except after she has performed the ritual bath. His saying, the Exalted and Majestic:[Al-Baqarah 2:222].
His saying "they become pure" means that the blood stops flowing from them, and His saying "when they have purified themselves" means that they have performed the ritual bath. So the conclusion is that it is obligatory for her to hasten to perform the ritual bath for the sake of prayer and for the sake of the husband's right, and it is not permissible for her to delay it. And if she does not have water, or if she is unable to use water due to an illness that prevents her from doing so, then she performs dry ablution with clean earth, she performs dry ablution with clean earth and prays, and the husband may have intercourse with her, because dry ablution with clean earth takes the place of using water. Yes.

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.
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُHis saying "they become pure" means that the blood stops flowing from them, and His saying "when they have purified themselves" means that they have performed the ritual bath.
