Husband fondling his wife during her menses without penetration

Q 3: What is the ruling on a husband who enjoys his wife during her menstruation period in different (Part No. 19; Page No. 280) parts of her body? Is this Haram (prohibited)?

A: It is permissible for the husband to enjoy his menstruating wife in any part of her body except vaginal intercourse. This is because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do everything except sexual intercourse." (Related by Muslim and Ahmad in his Musnad [Hadith compilation]) This Hadith means that the husband can enjoy his menstruating wife in any part of her body except vaginal intercourse. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
