Having intercourse with his menstruating wife more than once

Q 2: What is the ruling on a person who had sexual intercourse with his wife many times during one menstrual period? Please advise in detail.


A: A husband is forbidden from having sexual intercourse with his wife during her menstrual period. Whoever does this should pay Kaffarah (expiation) for every time he has committed this sin, even if during one menstrual period. The Kaffarah for this is a Dinar (old Arab coin that equals 2.975 grams of gold) or half a Dinar, where a Dinar is equal to one Mithqal (4.25 grams), which corresponds to four sevenths of a Saudi golden pound. He should also make Tawbah (repentance to Allah), (Part No. 19; Page No. 377) ask for Allah's Forgiveness, regret this sin, and intend never to commit it again, so that Allah might forgive him. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
