Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the marriage contract valid for a menstruating woman?

Answer:
Yes, the marriage contract for a menstruating woman is valid. What is forbidden is intercourse, intercourse only. As for the contract and the proposal, there is nothing wrong with that, except if she is in the waiting period. If the menstruation is part of the waiting period from the menstrual cycles, it is not permissible to propose to her or contract marriage with her. Yes.
