Is it true that it is not permissible to approach one's wife on Wednesday night, and that if the wife speaks during intercourse, a defect will appear in the offspring?

A man is permitted to have intercourse with his wife at any time, except during menstruation or post-childbirth bleeding (nifas). The evidence for this is Allah’s saying: "Your wives are a place of cultivation for you, so come to your cultivation however you wish."
