It is permissible for a husband to enjoy his menstruating wife in ways that do not involve the private parts. This is the view of the Hanbalis, and it is the most cautious approach as long as penetration does not occur. To know the ruling on bathing before purification from menstruation, please refer to Fatwa no. 32728.
