Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 222

وَیَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِیْضِ قُلْ هُوَ اَذًی فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَآءَ فِی الْمَحِیْضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْهُنَّ حَتّٰی یَطْهُرْنَ فَاِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَاْتُوْهُنَّ مِنْ حَیْثُ اَمَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِیْنَ وَیُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِیْنَ ۟

Wa yas'aloonaka 'anil maheedi qul huwa azan fa'tazilun nisaaa'a fil maheedi wa laa taqraboo hunna hattaa yathurna fa-izaa tatah-harrna faatoohunna min haisu amarakumul laah; innallaaha yuhibbut Tawwaabeena wa yuhibbul mutatahhireen

They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, ye may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.
