The ruling on having intercourse with a menstruating woman while believing she is experiencing irregular bleeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, may Allah preserve you: What should a man do if he has intercourse with his wife while she is menstruating, and he believes she is experiencing irregular bleeding because she has remained in that state for more than her usual number of days?
Answer:
He must pay the expiation, and his ignorance does not exempt him from the expiation. His ignorance that she is menstruating does not exempt him from the expiation. So when he knows that she is menstruating, the expiation becomes obligatory upon him, which is one dinar or half a dinar, or its equivalent in paper currency or banknotes. The dinar is a mithqal, the weight of a mithqal of gold, or half a mithqal, or its equivalent in paper currency. He should ask the money changers about that. Yes. And ignorance does not remove an obligation? Yes.
