[Machine] Aisha was asked what is permissible for a man from his wife while she is menstruating. She said, "Anything above the waistcloth."  

الدارمي:١٠٧٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي مَيْمُونُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ

سُئِلَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَتْ «مَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ»

abudawud:213 – Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik al-Yazanī > Baqiyyah b. al-Walīd > Saʿd al-Aghṭash / Ibn ʿAbdullāh > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿĀʾidh al-Azdī > Hishām Wahū Ibn Qurṭ Amīr Ḥimṣ > Muʿādh b. Jabal

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is lawful for a man to do with his wife when she is menstruating? He replied: What is above the waist-wrapper, but it is better to abstain from it, too. Abu Dawud said: This (tradition) is not strong.  

أبو داود:٢١٣ – حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْيَزَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الأَغْطَشِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ الأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ هِشَامٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ قُرْطٍ أَمِيرُ حِمْصَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَمَّا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا فَوْقَ الإِزَارِ وَالتَّعَفُّفُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ
