She is at the moment  in her 7th month.Jazzak Allah khair .<\/p>","answer":"<div class=\"list-group-item-text ftwa-single-answer font-nrmal\"><span class=\"line_height\">\r\n<p>Praise be to            Allaah.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is permissible for            a man to have intercourse with his pregnant wife whenever he wants,            unless that will cause her harm, for it is haraam for him to do anything            that will harm her. If it will not cause her harm but it is difficult            for her, then it is better for him not to have intercourse with her,            because avoiding things which are difficult for her is a kind of living            with them honourably. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;and live with them            honourably&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em>[al-Nisaa&rsquo; 4:19]<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>But it is haraam for            a man to have intercourse with his wife when she is menstruating, or            to have intercourse with her in her back passage, or to have intercourse            with her when she is in nifaas (bleeding following childbirth). That            is haraam and is not permitted, and a man must avoid that and do that            which Allaah has permitted. If she is menstruating then he may enjoy            her in other ways, apart from the vagina and back passage, because the            Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Do whatever            you like apart from intercourse.&rdquo; (Narrated by Muslim, <em>al-Hayd<\/em>,            455).<\/p>\r\n<p>A fatwa of Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen.
