Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Ubaydullah ibn
Abdullah ibn Umar sent a question to A'isha asking her, "May a man
fondle his wife when she is menstruating?" She replied, "Let her wrap
her waist-wrapper around her lower part and then he may fondle her if
he wishes."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
that on one occasion A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, was sleeping with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one garment, when suddenly she
jumped up sharply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to her, "What's the matter with you? Are you
losing blood?", meaning menstruating. She said, "Yes." He said, "Wrap
your waist-wrapper tightly about you, and return to your sleeping-
place."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Salim ibn
Abdullah and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked whether the husband of a
menstruating woman could have sexual intercourse with her when she saw
that she was pure but before she had had a ghusl. They said, "No, not
until she has had a ghusl."
