132. 'Aishah narrated that: "When I would menstruate, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered me to wear a waist wrap, then he would fondle me." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Umm Salamah and Maimunah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Aishah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
This (i.e. permissibility of fondling a menstruating woman) is the saying of more than one of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the Tābi'īn, and it is the view of Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad and Iṣhāq.

Commentary
There can be three forms of sexual relationship:
1. Sexual intercourse, it is prohibited according to consensus during menstruation.
2. Touching each other's body, except between the navel and knees, it is permissible in accordance with the consensus.
3. Other than the sexual intercourse, there are different views regarding the permissibility and impermissibility of body contact under the cloth around the waist. The truth is if there is no risk of indulging in intercourse, it is allowed; but if there is risk, which is most likely, then it is not allowed.
