قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ} [البقرة: 222] وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَقِيلَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ يَطْهُرْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ بِالْمَاءِ.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {اعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ} يَقُولُ: " اعْتَزِلُوا نِكَاحَ فُرُوجِهِنَّ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ} [البقرة: ٢٢٢] يَقُولُ: إِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ مِنَ الدَّمِ وَتَطَهَّرْنَ بِالْمَاءِ {فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ} [البقرة: ٢٢٢] يَقُولُ: فِي الْفَرْجِ وَلَا تَعَدَّوْا إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَقَدِ اعْتَدَى ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding the saying of Allah Almighty, "So keep away from women during menstruation" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222]: Keep away from intercourse with their private parts. And regarding "And do not approach them until they become pure" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222], he said: When they have become pure from the blood and have thoroughly purified themselves with water. Then regarding "Then come to them from where Allah has commanded you" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222], he said: In the private part, and do not go beyond it to anything else; whoever does anything (other than that) has transgressed the limit.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ} [البقرة: ٢٢٢] حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ الدَّمُ {فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ} [البقرة: ٢٢٢] قَالَ: يَقُولُ: إِذَا اغْتَسَلْنَ ".
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the saying of Allah Almighty, "And do not approach them until they become pure" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222]: Until the blood stops. And regarding "Then when they have purified themselves" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222], he said: When they have taken a ritual bath.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، فِي الْحَائِضِ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنَ الدَّمِ قَالَ: " لَا يَأْتِيهَا زَوْجُهَا حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ ".
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the menstruating woman, when she becomes pure from the blood: Her husband should not come to her until she has taken a ritual bath.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حِبَّانَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، أنا أَبُو عَامِرٍ مُوسَى بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، أنا سَالِمٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ: " لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَغْشَى الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَلَيْسَ بِحَضْرَتِهِ مَاءٌ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا فِي سَفَرٍ إِذَا تَيَمَّمَتْ ".
Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) heard al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) say: There is no harm if the husband covers his wife (that is, has intercourse with her) while no water is available, they are on a journey, and the woman has become pure from menstruation, when she has only performed dry ablution (tayammum).
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ سَالِمٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُمَا سُئِلَا عَنِ الْحَائِضِ، أَيُصِيبُهَا زَوْجُهَا إِذَا رَأَتِ الطُّهْرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ؟ فَقَالَا: " لَا، حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ ".
It is reported from Salim and Sulayman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on them both) that they were both asked about the menstruating woman: May her husband have intercourse with her when she sees the purity, before she takes a ritual bath? They said: No, not until she takes a ritual bath.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، ثنا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الرَّقِّيُّ، ثنا قَبِيصَةُ، ح. قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَا: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَوْ خَمْسَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَتَكُونُ فِينَا النُّفَسَاءُ وَالْحَائِضُ وَالْجُنُبُ فَمَا تَرَى قَالَ: " عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, we stay in sandy terrain for four or five months, and among us there are women in postnatal bleeding, menstruating women and people in a state of major impurity. What do you say about them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to the soil (that is, perform dry ablution, tayammum)."
