Menstruation of the Pregnant Woman and the Answer to the Hadith of the Captives of Autas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the issue of the pregnant woman menstruating? And what is the answer?
The Shaykh:
She does not menstruate while she is pregnant; she does not menstruate, so what you see is bleeding. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah preserve you. And what is the answer to the evidence that prohibits that, such as the Hadith of the Captives of Autas, where it was forbidden?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the menstruating woman who is not pregnant. He divided them into two categories: the pregnant woman, and she is not to be had intercourse with until she gives birth; and the non-pregnant woman, and she is not to be had intercourse with until she menstruates one period, so that it is known that her womb is clean. Yes.
