وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ
عَنِ
الْمَحِيضِ
قُلْ
هُوَ
أَذًى
فَاعْتَزِلُوا
النِّسَاءَ
فِي
الْمَحِيضِ
وَلَا
تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ
حَتَّى
يَطْهُرْنَ
فَإِذَا
تَطَهَّرْنَ
فَأْتُوهُنَّ
مِنْ
حَيْثُ
أَمَرَكُمُ
اللَّهُ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
يُحِبُّ
التَّوَّابِينَ
وَيُحِبُّ
الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ

They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, ye may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.
— Abdullah Yusufali
They ask you concerning [intercourse during] menses. Say, ‘It is hurtful.’ So keep away from wives during the menses, and do not approach them till they are clean. And when they become clean, go into them as Allah has commanded you. Indeed Allah loves the penitent and He loves those who keep clean.
