If menstrual bleeding stops and a woman sees one of the two signs of purity (dryness or white discharge) for an hour, she is considered pure and must perform (ritual bath) and pray. It is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her. This purity is valid even if the bleeding stopped due to ghusl or medications that prevented menstruation. So, if the bleeding stops and she sees the sign of purity and performs ghusl, it is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her.
