Intimacy during menstruation

Being intimate with one’s wife during menstruation is not permissible until she reaches purity. The Quraan Sharif states:

They ask you (O Muhammad e) concerning menstruation. Say, “It is impure so leave (intercourse with) women during (their period of) menstruation and do not go unto them (do not have sexual relations with your wives) until they are cleansed (until the menstrual cycle is complete and they have taken a bath). So when they have cleansed themselves properly, then go unto them (enter them) from where Allaah has ordered you (from the vagina only). Verily Allaah loves those who repent excessively (even for sins committed unintentionally such as engaging in sexual intercourse without knowing that the wife is still menstruating) and those who stay pure (by abstaining from sin).”
