(1) Abu Dawud recorded it as hadith no. 262 in his Sunan; the wording cited here is his. The chain meets Muslim’s criteria. Ibn ʿAbd al-Hadi ruled it sahih, while Ibn Hajar and al-Bayhaqi (1/314) graded it sound; the additional wording is from al-Bayhaqi. (2) This is also the position of Ibn Hazm (10/81). ʿAta and Qatadah narrated that when a menstruating woman perceives that her period has ended, she should wash her private parts and her husband may have intercourse with her. The same view is attributed to al-Awzaʿi, as reported in Bidayat al-Mujtahid (1/44). Ibn Hazm says: “We have transmitted from ʿAta that once she sees the sign of purity and performs wudu (ablution), intercourse becomes permissible for her husband; this is likewise the opinion of Abu Sulayman and all our companions.”
