Question

If a wife is on her menses is it permissible for a wife & husband to rub their private parts against one another with their clothes on. If not, and the husband suspected that it may be impermissible but tells his wife: I think it’s ok I am not sure. They proceed with the act. Does his statement constitute kufr?

Answer

It is permissible over the clothing. This statement does not constitute kufr
