There is a severe warning from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for those who do so. Scholars have mentioned that intercourse during menstruation causes health harm to both spouses and offspring. The expiation for this act is repentance, seeking forgiveness, and performing good deeds. It is recommended for the husband to give charity equivalent to a gold coin if it occurs at the beginning of menstruation, and half a gold coin if at the end.
