MENSTRUATION AND SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS
BismilLah.
Allah has made it forbidden for men to have intercourse with their wives during their menstruation period.
The Qur’aan clearly stated the reason for this proscription, which is that menstruation is adha (a harmful thing). Allah says to the nearest meaning:
“They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore, keep away from women during menses” [Qur'an 2:222].
Scientific researches and studies in this field have disclosed to us some of the harm that is referred to in this verse, but they have not managed to describe all the harms that are being pointed to in the Qur’aanic text.
Dr. Muhiy al-Deen al-‘Alabi said: “It is essential to refrain from having intercourse with a menstruating woman because doing so leads to an increase in the flow of menstrual blood, because the veins of the uterus are congested and prone to rupture, and get damaged easily; and the wall of the vagina is also susceptible to injury, so the likelihood of inflammation is very high, which leads to inflammation in the uterus and in the man’s penis, because of the irritation that occurs during intercourse. Having intercourse with a menstruating woman may also be off-putting to both the man and his wife, because of the presence and smell of blood, which may make the man impotent (i.e., uninterested in sex).
Dr. Muhammad al-Baar said, speaking of the harm that may be caused to the menstruating woman: The lining of the uterus is shed during menstruation, and the uterus is scarred as a result, just like when the skin is flayed. So it is vulnerable to bacteria and the introduction of the bacteria that are to be found at the tip of the penis poses a great harm to the uterus.
