Intercourse during Menstruation
*******************************
Allah says
:
"
They ask you concerning menstruation . Say : that is an adhaa ( a harmful thing for a husband to have s.e.x.ual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses ) , therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till have purified ( from menses and have taken a bath
" …. (
[ Surah al-Baqarah (2):222 ]
So a man is not permitted to approach his wife until her period has ended and she has taken a bath ( ghusl ) . Allah says
:
"
And when they purified themselves , then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you
"
[ Surah al-Baqarah (2):222 ]
The repulsive nature of this sin is indicated by the words of the Prophet
:
"
Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman , with a woman in her rectum , or goes to a fortune-teller has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad
."
[ Reported by al-Tirmidhi from Abu Hurayrah , 1/243 ; see also Saheeh al-Jaami' , 5918 ]
Whoever does this by mistake , not deliberately , does not have to pay any penalty , but the person who does it deliberately and with full knowledge of what he is doing must do so , which , according to the scholars with the soundest knowledge , is one dinar or half a dinar . Some scholars say that there is a choice in the amount to be paid ; others say that if a man has intercourse with his wife at the beginning of her period , when the flow of blood is heavy , he must pay one dinar , and if he does it at the end of her period when the flow is light , he must pay half a dinar . In modern terms , a dinar is equal to 4.25 grams of gold : this or the e.q.u.i.v.alent amount of currency must be given in charity
