Engaging in sexual relations after haidh before making ghusal

· 7 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a woman has completed her haiz, can she do intercourse with her husband without making ghusl although she has no bleeding or any trace of haiz but she did not make ghusl for haiz?

Answer

If a woman's haidh is ten days and she bled for the complete ten days, then it is permissible for the husband to have intimacy with her before making ghusal. However, if a woman's haidh is less than ten days and her bleeding stopped according to her pattern, then it is not permissible for the husband to have intimacy with her before she makes ghusal or one salaah time passes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
