Is Ghusl Required After Menstruation for Intimacy? A Guide to Valid Relations

Ghusl After Menstruation: Understanding the Requirements for Valid Relations

Question: After menstruation, a woman performed a regular bath and had relations with her husband but did not perform the ritual bath (ghusl). Is this relationship valid, or is there any expiation required? If expiation is required, what is the amount?

Answer: There are two types of ghusl (ritual bath): one is the complete ghusl, known as ghusl janabat, and the other is the sufficient ghusl. If someone performs the sufficient ghusl, it is also valid, but performing ghusl janabat is preferable. Since the wife’s ghusl is valid, no expiation is required in this case. The sufficient ghusl involves making the intention of ghusl, saying Bismillah, washing both hands, rinsing the mouth, and putting water in the nose, then pouring water over the entire body.
