Is your marriage valid after committing the sin of adultery during menstruation, with repentance and without mention of expiation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the expiation intended is that for intercourse during menstruation, some jurists have held it to be obligatory, amounting to a Dinar or half a Dinar, while others consider it not obligatory. However, if intercourse occurred through fornication (zina), some have also held expiation to be obligatory. The more cautious approach is to pay the expiation. A Dinar is equivalent to four and a quarter grams of gold, and the expiation is optional: a Dinar or half of it.
