Sunan ad-Darimi

It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him): When a menstruating woman becomes pure (i.e., her menstrual blood stops), her husband should not approach her until she has performed ghusl (ritual bath).

It is also narrated in a similar way from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) through another chain of transmission.

Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If the menstrual blood of a woman stops, can her husband have intercourse with her before she performs ghusl? He replied: No. It was asked: If she does not perform ghusl for one or two days? He replied: She will be made to repent.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said about the verse «﴿وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ﴾» [بقرة: 222/2]: «يَطْهُرْنَ» means when the blood stops, and «فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ» means when they have performed ghusl (ritual bath).

It is narrated from Mujahid, may Allah have mercy on him, that « ﴿حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ﴾ » means when the flow of blood stops, and «﴿فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ﴾» said: that is, when she performs ghusl (ritual bath).

‘Uthman bin al-Aswad said: I asked Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) about a woman who gets her menses: Is it permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her before she performs ghusl (ritual bath)? He replied: No, as long as prayer is not permissible (intercourse is also not permissible).

It is narrated from Hammad that Imam Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Do not have intercourse until you have performed ghusl (ritual bath).

It is narrated from Imam Hasan, may Allah have mercy on him, about the man who has intercourse with his wife after her period but before she has performed ghusl (ritual bath), he said: Until she performs ghusl, she is under the same ruling as a menstruating woman, and expiation is due upon him. He should ask about the matter of ghusl.

It is narrated from Imam Hasan, may Allah have mercy on him: A man will not have intercourse with such a woman.

Abu al-Khair Mirthad al-Yazani said: I heard Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, say: By Allah, I do not have intercourse with my wife on the day she becomes pure until another day has passed.

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him): When a woman sees purity, can her husband have intercourse with her or not? He replied: Intercourse is not permissible until she performs ghusl (ritual bath).

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding a woman whose blood (menstruation) stops, he said: If the man's desire increases, then the woman should wash her private part, and then have intercourse.

Furwah bin Abi Al-Mughra reported, I heard Shareek say, a man asked him: If a woman's blood stops, can her husband have intercourse with her before she performs ghusl (ritual bath)? Furwah gave the answer from Abdul Malik on the authority of Ata’ (may Allah have mercy on him) that he permitted intercourse before ghusl in the case of intense desire. Abu Muhammad Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I fear that he made a mistake, and that this is narrated from Layth bin Abi Sulaim instead of Ata’ (may Allah have mercy on him), because I do not know of any such statement from Abdul Malik. Abu Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: «الشبق» refers to the man who has intense desire.
