Question

Is it haraam for a husband to touch his wife between the navel and the knee while she is menstruating? My husband says its not haraam to touch, he just can't use the navel to the knee for his pleasure? Is that correct?

Answer

It is impermissible. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/981

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