The question

Does the expiation for having intercourse with a menstruating woman—which is to give a dinar or half a dinar in charity—apply to an adulteress if she commits adultery while menstruating, and what is the amount of expiation due from her, and what is its equivalent in Indian Rupees if the two situations are similar?

The answer

One must focus on repenting from major and grave sins, such as fornication (zina), and recall its severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter. One should also strive for seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and performing abundant good deeds, and not distract the mind by searching for minor issues or expiations that do not substitute for sincere repentance. Abstaining from minor sins while committing major ones is a deception from Satan, and scholars have warned against this.
