Intimacy During Haidh
Question
During Haidh, can the husband stimulate/touch the covered area (navel to knee) of his wife?
Answer
It is permissible for one to be intimate with one’s wife from the area below the navel until the knee, on condition that there is a barrier between the wife and husband. It is not permissible for one to have intercourse with one’s wife in the state of Haidh under any circumstance. (RE:Fataawa Mahmoodia Vol:2 Pg:216-218)
