Question

Is it permissible in islam or not? There is no forcing or desire shown from husband for sex. It is only wife expectation.

Please guide us in light of islam's teaching.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Sexual intercourse during menses is haram even if one uses condom[1].
