The hadith about the expiation for intercourse with a menstruating woman has been narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas as both a mawquf (stopped at a Companion) and a marfu‘ (raised to the Prophet) report.

This is the view of some scholars, and Ahmad and Ishaq held it.

Ibn al-Mubarak said: He seeks forgiveness from his Lord, and there is no expiation upon him.

A view similar to that of Ibn al-Mubarak has been narrated from some of the Followers (tabi‘un), among them: Sa‘id ibn Jubayr and Ibrahim al-Nakha‘i. (1)

104 - Chapter: What has been reported about washing menstrual blood from a garment

138 - Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, from Fatimah bint al-Mundhir, from Asma’ bint Abi Bakr: That a woman asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about a garment that gets blood on it from menstruation. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Scrape it off, then rub it with water, then sprinkle it, and pray in it." (2)

(1) This is also the view of ‘Ata’ ibn Abi Rabah, Ibn Abi Mulaykah, al-Sha‘bi, Makhul, al-Zuhri, Rabi‘ah, Hammad ibn Abi Sulayman, al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, Ibn Sirin, Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, Sufyan al-Thawri, al-Layth ibn Sa‘d, Malik, Abu Hanifah, and it is the most correct view according to al-Shafi‘i, and Ahmad in one of the two narrations from him, and the majority of the early scholars (salaf). They said: There is no expiation upon him; rather, what is obligatory is seeking forgiveness and repentance. Ibn Sayyid al-Nas reported this in his "Sharh al-Tirmidhi," folio 48.
(2) Authentic (sahih). Al-Bukhari recorded it (227) and (307), Muslim (291), Abu Dawud (360-362), Ibn Majah (629), and al-Nasa’i 1/155. It is also in "al-Musnad" (26920) and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1396). =
