[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have engaged in sexual intercourse with my wife before completing her purification (from menstruation)." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What led you to do that?" The man replied, "The moon appeared to me and I desired her, so I engaged with her before her purification was complete." The Prophet ﷺ advised him, "Refrain from her until she completes her purification."
