Grade: Authentic hadith
In this Hadīth, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarifies the expiation due on someone who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife while she is menstruating. The expiation is to pay a dinar or half a dinar in charity. We learn from the Hadīth that having sexual intercourse with a woman during her menstruation is prohibited, because it results in expiation. The Hadīth also serves as evidence of the obligation of giving in charity, because it is done as a compensation for a sin.
