Q 1: What is the ruling on a woman who took after-menstruation Ghusl (full ritual bath), and her husband had sexual intercourse with her, then she found blood? It is worth mentioning that her period is seven days and they had passed. Could you kindly advise? May Allah reward you. A: If, as mentioned, the husband concerned had sexual intercourse with his wife after the end of her menstrual days and her purification from menses through taking Ghusl, there is no blame on him. The discharge of blood after having sexual intercourse will be of no harm, because what the woman saw after her period is considered Istihadah (abnormal vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual or post-partum period). However, if this happens in the next month, this shows that the period of her menstruation has changed, unless it exceeds fifteen days.On the other hand, if sexual intercourse happened before purity from menses, signaled by white discharge or complete cessation of bleeding, and they only depended on the usual length of her period, then this sexual intercourse occurred during menstruation. They have to repent to Allah and not do this again, because the number of the days of menstruation may increase or decrease. Each of them must pay Kaffarah (expiation), which is to give a Dinar or half a Dinar as Sadaqah (voluntary charity). The amount of a Dinar is equivalent to (Part No. 4; Page No. 206

The amount of a Dinar is equivalent to (Part No. 4; Page No. 206) four-sevenths of a Saudi pound. If the value of the Saudi pound is 70 Riyals, each of them will have to pay 20 or 40 Riyals; whichever value they pay will be sufficient.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
