Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite the final phase of verse 222 of surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(222) وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ = "Wa La~ Taqq-ro-bu~ Hun~na Hat-ta~ Yat-hurrn".  = "Wa" = And, But, "La" = do not, "Taqq-ro-bu~" = you (pl.) approach, "Hun~na" = them (f.), "Hat-ta~" = until, "Yat-hurr-na" = they clean themselves.
"Wa La~ Taqq-ro-bu~ Hun~na Hat-ta~ Yat-hurrn". = But do not ever approach them (f.) before they clean themselves.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اُللهُ = "Fa I-dza~ Ta-toh-harr-na Faa-tu~ Hun~na Min Hai-thu A-ma-ro Ku-mul-Lo~h".  = "Fa" = Then, "I-dza~" = if, "Ta-toh-harr-na" = they (f.) clean themselves (f.), "Fa" = then, "u-tu~" = give, mix/have sex with, "Hun~na" = them (f.), "Min" = at, "Hai-thu" = where, "A-ma-ro" = instruct, "Kum" = you (pl.), "Al-Lohu" = Allah.
"Fa I-dza~ Ta-toh-harr-na Faa-tu~ Hun~na Min Hai-thu A-ma-ro Ku-mul-Lo~h". = When they are clean, then mix/have sex with them at the place instructed by Allah to you (pl.).
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
إِنَّ اُللهَ يُحِبُّ اُلتَّوَّبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ اُلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ = "In~nal-Loha Yu-hib-but-Taw-wa~bi~na Wa Yu-hib-bul-Mu-ta-toh-hi-ri~~n".  =  "In~na" = Truly, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "Yu-hib-bu" = He Love, "at-Taw-wa~bi~na" = those who repent, "Wa" = and, "Yu-hib-bu" = He Love, "al-Mu-ta-toh-hi-ri~na" = the pure.
"In~nal-Loha Yu-hib-but-Taw-wa~bi~na Wa Yu-hib-bul- Mu-ta-toh-hi-ri~~n". =  Truly, Allah Love those who repent and Love those who are clean and pure.
(When the companions r.a. asked the Prophet s.a.w. about the "Haidh"/menses, Allah revealed this verse, " And they asked you (O Muhammad) about the Menses, say, "It is a defilement/filth, so, you should stay away from the women when they have their menses and do not ever approach them before they are clean". Then the Prophet s.a.w. added, "Do whatever thing you like to them except joining/uniting bodies".
When the Jews heard about the above mentioned verse and the Hadith, they said, "This man (Muhammad s.a.w.) has never overlooked any of our affairs without opposing and contradicting them". Thence, Usaid ibnu Hudhair and 'Abbad ibnu Bisyr went to the Prophet s.a.w. and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the Jews had said this and that, why do we not just copulate/unite in sexual intercourse with our wives?". The Prophet 's s.a.w. turned in anger. Seeing that, they both took leave and left. Then someone came to the Prophet s.a.w. with a present, milk. The Prophet s.a.w. then sent words that Usaid ibnu Hudhair and 'Abbad ibnu Bisyr to come to the Prophet s.a.w. and they both were given milk to drink. Thus, both of them knew that the Prophet s.a.w. was angry with them no more.
The verse, " So you should stay away from the women when they have their menses" means, we, Mankind should stay away from their/the wives's sexual organs only, and this is based on the Hadith, the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Do whatever thing you like (to them) except "Nikah"/copulation".
[This is not Sexiology, but it is one of the Syariah/Islamic Law that we Muslimin must know, so that we do not commit sin. We must know what we can do and what we cannot do when our wives are having menses. This also applies when our wives are in their Post-natal bleeding].
(to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
