Purity: Consequences of Intercourse During Ḥayḍ
Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 450:
If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife while she is in the state of ḥayḍ, it is obligatory for him to seek forgiveness from Allah. However, giving recompense (kaffārah) is not obligatory for him, even though it is better that he give kaffārah. The kaffārah for sexual intercourse at the beginning of ḥayḍ is one legal (sharʿī) mithqāl[1] of coined gold, at the middle of ḥayḍ it is half a legal mithqāl, and at the end of ḥayḍ it is one-quarter of a legal mithqāl. A legal mithqāl is eighteen nukhuds.[2]
