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.
