Intercourse with a Woman Who Has Cleansed from Menstruation and Postpartum Bleeding
If a woman has cleansed from prolonged menstruation and postpartum bleeding, when is it permissible to have intercourse with her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to have intercourse with one whose menstrual blood has stopped for the majority of the menstrual period – that is, ten days – or after childbirth – that is, forty days – before the ritual bath, and God knows best.
