Question Summary: Intercourse during Istihaadha Question Detail:
I am on the 12th day of my period today. Is it permissible for me to engage in sexual intercourse with my husband? And when should I start praying?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salamu’alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa –barakatuh. According to the Hanafi Mazhab (School of thought), the maximum period of Hayd (menstrual period) is 10 days.[1] The discharge after ten days is Istihaadha (chronic discharge). After the ten days bleeding, you should take a compulsory bath and resume your obligations of Salaah. It is also permissible to engage in conjugal relationship during Istihaadha.[2] A woman in Istihaadha will have to renew her Wudhu for each Fardh Salaah time.[3] We apologize for the much belated response.
