It is allowed for him to enjoy pleasure with his wife in any way except for her private parts when she is on her period. There are several hadīth s about this:
First: "and do everything except intercourse itself." [Muslim, Abu 'Auwāna and Abū Dāwūd]
Second: On the authority of 'Ā'ishah who said:
| "When we were on our periods, the Prophet used to order us to put on a waist cloth that her husband can then lie with her." One time she said: "... her husband can then fondle and caress her." [al-Bukhārī, Muslims and others]. |
Third: On the authority of one of the wives of the Prophet who said:
| "When the Prophet wanted something from one of his wives who was on her period, he put a cloth over her private parts, and then did whatever he wanted." [Abo Dāwūd: Sahīh] |
