Islam Says….No Sex
During Menstruation
Quran Surat Baqarah
Ayat 222:
They ask you about menstruation, say:
Menstruation is a discomfort (for women.) Do not establish sexual
relations with them during the relations with them during the menses
and do not approach them (sexually) until the blood stops. Then when
they have cleansed themselves, you go into them as Allah has commanded
you.”
Two reasons for
this verse:
1)
To tell that menstruation is a
discomfort for women
2)
To avoid dirtiness
Medical Reasons
1)
Women are mentally depressed when
they have their menstruation but, when they have sex, women are
mentally aroused. Therefore, sex during menstruation is a mental
disturbance for women.
2)
Men discharge semen during
intercourse. Discharge of blood from menstruation by a woman effects
his performance.
3)
Urinary tract infections for men
occur easily due to the discharge of a woman during her menstruation
because the discharge grows bacteria easily.
4)
Increase in blood pressure, heart
rate, and basal metabolic rate occurs right before a woman’s
menstruation. If sex takes place, those three would increase even
more resulting in excessive bleeding.
5)
Women dislike intercourse during
their menstruation because of her many physical pains.
6)
During menstruation, women
increase in nervous tension, greater muscular excitability, yawning
and stiffness in the neck, and their sleep is heavier than usual.
Along with the loss of appetite, there are digestive and intestinal
disturbances.
7)
Mental disturbances like
depression and irritability commonly occur during a woman’s
menstruation.
8)
Bowel habits are disturbed during
menstruation and having intercourse would disturb it even more.
9)
Having sex during menstruation
can change the normal balance cycle of the woman’s menstruation.
Paying up
Because it is a
sin for any man who does have intercourse during a woman’s
menstruation, he must pay a certain amount of money to ask for
forgiveness from God.
This is how much he
would pay in the weight of gold coins in grams:
1)
If he has sex with her during the
early days of her menstruation he pays 3.457g.
2)
If he has sex during the middle
of the days of her menstruation he pays 1.729g.
3)
If he has sex during the last
days of her menstruation he pays 0.865g.
