ويسالونك عن المحيض قل هو اذى فاعتزلوا النساء في المحيض ولا تقربوهن حتى يطهرن فاذا تطهرن فاتوهن من حيث امركم الله ان الله يحب التوابين ويحب المتطهرين ٢٢٢
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًۭى فَٱعْتَزِلُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فِى ٱلْمَحِيضِ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ ۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ ٢٢٢

٢٢٢
They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about menstruation. Say, “Beware of its harm! So keep away, and do not have intercourse with your wives during their monthly cycles until they are purified.1 When they purify themselves, then you may approach them in the manner specified by Allah. Surely Allah loves those who always turn to Him in repentance and those who purify themselves.”

Readings:
يَطْهُرْنَ
yaṭhurna
“until they are restored to purity”
i.e. with the ending of their menstrual cycle.
يَطَّهَّرْنَ
yaṭṭahharna
“until they have purified themselves”
i.e. by taking a ritual bath/shower (ghusl) after menstruation has ceased.

Explanation:

The two readings are generally taken to provide the same ruling, because the subsequent phrase fa-idha taṭahharna (‘So when they have purified themselves’) has only this one reading, which describes when it becomes permissible for a man to approach his wife intimately. Therefore, the first reading (including the subsequent phrase) indicates both aspects: the end of menstruation and the ritual bath [Makki].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
