456. Acts which are Haraam for a woman who is in the state of Hayz:
1- Prayers and other similar acts of worship for which Wudhu or tayammum or Ghusl is necessary. However, there is no harm in her performing those acts of worship for which Wudhu, tayammum or Ghusl are not obligatory (e.g. Namaz-e-Mayyit).
2- All those acts which are forbidden to a junub (see rule no. 361).
3- Having sexual intercourse; it is Haraam for man as well as for woman even if only the penis glans may penetrate, and even if semen may not be discharged. In fact, the obligatory precaution is that the male should refrain from insertion even to an extent lesser than the point of circumcision. Anal intercourse with the wife in this manner is severely Makrooh. But other pleasures like kissing and wooing and courtship is permissible.
457. Intercourse is Haraam also when a woman may not be very certain of being in the state of Hayz; but Shariah guides her to treat herself as such. So, when a woman sees blood for more than ten days, and, as will be explained later, she has to resort to the habit of her relatives for determining the period of Hayz, her husband will not be permitted to have sexual relations with her during those days
453. If the number of Hayz days of a woman is divided into three parts, and in case a man has intercourse with his wife in the first part, in front, then as an obligatory precaution, he must pay 18 Nokhod (3.457 gr) of gold as ransom (Kaffara) to the poor, and if it has occurred in the second part, 9 Nokhod (1.729 gr) and in the third part, 4.5 Nokhod (0.865 gr). For example, if a woman’s Hayz lasts for 6 days and her husband has intercourse with her during the first and second day or night, he should pay 18 Nokhod (3.457 gr) of gold and during the third and fourth day or night, he should pay gold weighing 9 Nokhod (1.729 gr) and for fifth and sixth day and night, he should pay gold weighing 4.5 Nokhod (0.865 gr).and as an obligatory precautionhe should pay ransom (Kaffara) for Anal intercourse.
459. If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife when she is a Haaez, and he know she is Haaez , he should giving Kaffara. And if he does not know that she is Haaez there is nothing on him.
460. It is not obligatory to pay Kaffare in gold coins, and he can pay its equivalent value.
461. If the price of gold has undergone a change at the time he wishes to pay the Kaffara to the poor, as compared with the time when he had sexual intercourse, he should pay at the prevailing rate.
462. If a man has intercourse with his wife in the first, second, and third stages of Hayz, he should give Kaffara for the three, totaling 31/5 Nokhod .
463. If one has intercourse with a Hayz woman and pays Kaffara, in case he has intercourse with her again in that situation, he must pay Kaffara again
464. If a man has had repeated intercourse with a Haaez woman, he should pay Kaffara for each time, as per obligatory precaution.
468. As it will be explained in the rule relating to divorce, if a woman is divorced while she is in the state of Hayz, the divorce is void.
470. If a woman becomes Haaez while she is in Namaz, her Namaz will become void
477. If a woman delays offering prayers on exact time, allowing a lapse equal to the time required for offering one Namaz, and then she becomes Haaez, she will have to give Qadha for that Namaz. And in calculating the time, the extraneous things like praying quickly or slowly and other matters have to be considered individually.
For example, if a woman who is not a traveler delays her Namaz of Zuhr, the Qadha will be obligatory for her if time equal to performing four Rak’ats for prayers passes away from the exact time of Zuhr and then she becomes Haaez. And for one who is a traveler the passage of time equal to performing two Rak’ats is sufficient.
