If the menstrual bleeding stops after seeing a drop, (ritual purification bath) becomes obligatory, and the husband is permitted to enjoy whatever he wishes except for intercourse until the wife performs ghusl. However, if menstruation has not ceased, the husband is permitted to enjoy everything except the private parts, and this is the more correct view. In neither case is expiation () required, but it is advisable to avoid such actions in the future.
