Mujahid said: There is no harm in playing with the thighs and navel (navel, lower abdomen) of a menstruating woman.

Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) under one blanket when I got my period. I stood up, and he (peace be upon him) said:“What happened?”I replied: The same thing has happened to me that happens to women. He said:“This is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.”Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: So I got up and put myself in order, then I returned (to his pure company), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Come into the blanket.”So I entered.

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) under a single sheet when I began menstruating, so I gathered my clothes and quietly slipped away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you started menstruating?" I replied: Yes. Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that he called me, and I lay down with him under the same sheet. She also said that she and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ghusl for janabah together from a single vessel, and he would kiss her while he was fasting.

Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have intercourse with any of his wives in the state of menstruation over the izar (lower garment).

Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When any one of us would menstruate, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would command her to tie a waist-wrapper, and then he would have intimacy with her.

It is narrated from Abu Maysarah that Umm al-Mu'minin, may Allah be pleased with her, said: I would tie a waist-wrapper while in the state of menstruation, then I would enter the blanket with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Yazid bin Abi Ziyad: Ibn Jubair was asked: What is permissible for a man when a woman is in the state of menstruation? He replied: Whatever is above the waist-wrapper (izar) is permissible.

It is narrated from ‘Ubaidah (as-Salmani) regarding a menstruating woman that the bed may be the same but the blanket should be separate; if there is no blanket, then the man should put his own blanket over her.

Shurayh (al-Qadi) said: For a man, it is the part above the navel.
