Having intimacy with one's wife while she is menstruating
Question
This is a general question but necessary all the time for those who are living abroad without their family. After long period (over 6 months). I am going for a short vacation to my home country for 5 days. During this 5 days, if my wife gets her menses, what do I need to do? Is it haram to get intimate with my wife or is it exempted, because i will not have another chance for several months thereafter.
Answer
To have any type of intimacy will be haraam in the days that she is menstruating.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
