Hence the penetration of the male organ into the female organ at the time of menstruation is no more than the introduction of germs at a time when the body is not able to fight them.
Dr. al-Baar opines that the harm is not limited to what he describes of the introduction of germs into the uterus and vagina which is difficult to treat, rather it also encompasses other things, namely:
1. The spread of infection to the fallopian tubes, which may then become obstructed, which in turn may lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy, which is the most dangerous kind of pregnancy.
2. The spread of infection to the urethra, bladder and kidneys; diseases of the urinary tract are usually severe, serious and chronic.
3. Increase of germs in the menstrual blood, particularly gonorrhea germs.
The menstruating woman is also in a physical and psychological state that is not conducive to engage in intercourse, so if it takes place it will harm her a great deal and cause her pains during her period, as Dr. al-Baar said:
Allah has described it as adha, a harmful thing both for the wife and for the husband, and other harmful effects about which only Allah knows best.
Therefore it becomes clear that the prohibition on intercourse at the time of menstruation is not just because of the blood, rather it is for several reasons as stated above.
The Muslim must also obey the command of ALLAAH, for HE is the Creator, and HE knows best what is good for His slaves and what is harmful to them. HE is the One Who says “keep away from women during menses”, so even if the reason behind this is not clear or understood, we must still submit to the command of Allah Who has commanded that a man should not have intercourse with his wife at this time.
However, it is permissible for a man to be intimate with his wife without engaging in intercourse and both can live lovely and do whatever except penetration.
May ALLAH Azza wa Jal, The Mighty, and the Majestic keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our final abode by His Rahamah. Aameen.
