Summary
Intercourse with a wife during menstruation is forbidden even when a condom is used, based on Surah al-Baqarah verse 222, a hadith reported by Muslim, and Imam al-Shafi'i's statement that it is a major sin. The prohibition also carries wisdom, as it may cause illness to both husband and wife. In the Shafi'i and Hanafi schools, sexual contact with a barrier on the area between the navel and knees is permitted, while contact without a barrier is prohibited according to the majority of scholars.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat dalam masalah ini, persetubuhan ketika haid adalah haram walaupun memakai kondom berdasarkan penghujahan di atas.
