Ghusal after being intimate in the state of haidh
Question
A person has relations with his wife with a cloth inbetween during haiz, both climax. The husband obviously needs to make ghusl but should the wife also take a bath, or is it fine for her to stay in this state? Would the malaa'ika stay away from her in this state and return if she has a ghusl whilst still in haiz.
Answer
Ghusal is not fardh upon her. However if there is any impurity on her body, she should wash it off.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
