Topic: Expiation (Kaffarah) for Engaging in Intercourse During Menstruation

(No-39909)

Q My habit of periods is usually 6 days , but i had periods for seven days , my husband asked me for intercourse and i could not stop him on 7th day morning , although i realize that i am still not pak. I had brown liquid till 7th day evening I was very guilty on my act , How much kaffara should we pay?

aDuring menstruation, intercourse or intimate contact in the area between the navel and the knees is haram and a serious sin.
In this situation, since the husband engaged in intercourse without knowing that his wife was menstruating, while the woman was aware of her condition, it is necessary for her to make sincere tawbah (repentance) and seek forgiveness.
It is also recommended for her to give some sadaqah according to her financial status, as it is mentioned in a Hadith that a person who has intercourse with his wife during menstruation should give one dinar or half a dinar as sadaqah. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith no. 290)
Note:
One dinar is approximately 4.374 grams of gold.

دلائل:

القرآن الکریم: (البقرۃ، الایة: 222)
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَo

سنن ابی داؤد: (رقم الحدیث: 290، ط: دارالرسالة العالمیة)
عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِدِينَارٍ أَوْ بِنِصْفِ دِينَارٍ۔

الھندية: (39/1، ط: دار الفکر)
منها حرمة الجماع هكذا في النهاية والكفاية وله أن يقبلها ويضاجعها ويستمتع بجميع بدنها ما خلا ما بين السرة والركبة عند أبي حنيفة وأبي يوسف هكذا في السراج الوهاج فإن جامعها وهو عالم بالتحريم فليس عليه إلا التوبة والاستغفار ويستحب أن يتصدق بدينار أو نصف دينار كذا في محيط السرخسي۔

Allah the Almighty knows best.
