Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on a man having intercourse with his wife before she has completed forty days, if she has been completely purified from post-natal bleeding, and is there a hadith regarding these forty days?
The Shaykh : It is permissible for the husband to have intercourse with his wife if she is purified from post-natal bleeding before the completion of forty days, and there is no blame on him for doing so.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is because there is no hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibiting it or forbidding it. Furthermore, she is obligated to perform the prayer, which requires abstaining from intercourse or something less than that.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If prayer is permissible, then intercourse is all the more permissible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Just as it is obligatory for her to establish the obligatory prayer and permissible for her to perform voluntary prayers if she is purified before the completion of forty days, she is not prevented from her husband having intercourse with her.
The questioner : Yes.
