Fondling the wife during menses

Q 3: Given that anal intercourse with one's wife is prohibited, what should a husband do when he cannot have intercourse with his wife in her vagina due to an excuse but at the same time cannot wait? Does the Shari`ah permit him to have sex with his wife in any other part of her body if he is overpowered by desire?


(Part No. 19; Page No. 287)  A: He can enjoy her by having contact with her in any part of her body other than her vagina and anus; thus he can avoid committing unlawful intercourse. We advise him to observe voluntary Sawm (Fasting), for this will help him control his lust. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
