Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says he had intercourse with his wife while she was menstruating. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
He says a man had intercourse with his wife while she was menstruating, so what is the ruling on that? Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden the husband from having intercourse with his wife while she is menstruating. His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Baqarah 2:222].
This verse indicates the prohibition of intercourse with a menstruating woman until she becomes pure and takes a bath. And whoever does that is a sinner, so he must seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Allah, and not return to such an action.
In addition to repentance, according to the correct opinion of the scholars, he must give charity of a dinar or half of it, an Islamic dinar, or half of it, which is equivalent to half a Saudi pound in our time. That means he should see how much half a pound is in riyals at the exchange rate and distribute it to the poor as expiation for what he did. This requires two things of him: first, repentance, and second, the expiation, which is approximately half a Saudi pound converted into riyals.

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.
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُThis verse indicates the prohibition of intercourse with a menstruating woman until she becomes pure and takes a bath.
