Is it permissible to engage in sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman between her breasts and between her buttocks without penetration into the anus? And what should a man do if his wife requests sexual intercourse more than five times a day and feels unfulfilled?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a husband to enjoy his menstruating wife in all ways except intercourse. This includes enjoyment between the breasts or the buttocks, provided that the anus is avoided. The husband should keep his wife chaste, unless he is harmed by doing so. If the husband is unable to fulfill her sexual desire, the wife should distance herself from anything that arouses her instincts. It is not permissible for the husband to disclose the secrets of intercourse.
