Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26293

Bundar narrated to us, Yahya bin Saeed narrated to us, Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi, and Bahz bin Asad narrated to us, they said Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us, on the authority of Hakim Al-Athram, on the authority of Abu Tamimah Al-Hujaimi, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: “Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman or a woman in Whoever manages it or is a soothsayer, then he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace.” Abu Issa said, “We do not know this hadith except from the hadith of Hakim al-Athram.” On the authority of Abu Tamimah Al-Hujaimi, on the authority of Abu Hurairah. But the meaning of this, according to the people of knowledge, is rather strict. It was narrated on the authority of The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said, “Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman should give a dinar in charity.” If intercourse with a menstruating woman was blasphemy, he would not have been commanded to make expiation. Muhammad weakened this hadith through its chain of transmission. Abu Tamimah al-Hujaimi’s name is Tarif bin Mujalid.
