Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

Merely making love (caressing, fondling and kissing etc.) with one’s spouse during menses is permissible. However, any direct skin contact or deriving any form of pleasure from between the navel and knees during menses is prohibited.[1]

(Raddul Muhtār, Vol.1, Pg.292)

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
