Intercourse during Nifaas

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I delivered a baby weeks ago and my husband and I had intercourse. I know I was wrong and it’s a sin on my part but I was carried away by fear that if I hadn’t allowed it, he would be tempted to be unfaithful outside our marriage. What should I do to repent?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your question is unclear. Was there still Nifaas (post natal bleeding)? If you were still in Nifaas, having intercourse would be Haram and you and your husband would have to make sincere Tawbah and beg Allah Ta’ala for forgiveness and never repeat such.

If the Nifaas had stopped, then intercourse would be permissible and there would be no sin.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

“وأكثره” أي النفاس “أربعون يوما” لأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقت للنفساء أربعين يوما إلا أن ترى الطهر قبل ذلك “ولا حد لأقله” أي النفاس إذ لا حاجة إلى أمارة زائدة على الولادة

و” يحرم بالحيض والنفاس “الجماع والاستمتاع بما تحت السرة إلى تحت الركبة” لقوله تعالى ولا تقربوهن حتى يطهرن وقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “لك ما فوق الإزار

 وحكمه كالحيض في كل شيء إلا في سبعة ذكرتها في الخزائن

وقربان ما تحت إزار) يعني ما بين سرة وركبة ولو بلا شهوة
