What is the ruling on one who has intercourse with his wife after her menstruation has stopped but before she performs ghusl, knowing full well the situation, and does this entail expiation by fasting for two months, and if he is unable to fast, what should he do?
There is no expiation for one who has intercourse with his wife before her ritual bath after menstruation, but he must seek forgiveness and repent. As for one who has intercourse with her before the cessation of bleeding, expiation is incumbent upon him.
