Sunan Abu Dawood, Book of Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)(view book)
Narrated Abdullah ibn Sa'd al-Ansari:
Abdullah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is lawful for me to do with my wife when she is menstruating? He replied: What is above the waist-wrapper is lawful for you.
The narrator also mentioned (the lawfulness of) eating with a woman in menstruation, and he transmitted the tradition in full.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِنَ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ " لَكَ مَا فَوْقَ الإِزَارِ " . وَذَكَرَ مُؤَاكَلَةَ الْحَائِضِ أَيْضًا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ .

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal:
I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is lawful for a man to do with his wife when she is menstruating? He replied: What is above the waist-wrapper, but it is better to abstain from it, too.
Abu Dawud said: This (tradition) is not strong.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْيَزَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ الأَغْطَشِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ الأَزْدِيِّ، - قَالَ هِشَامٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ قُرْطٍ أَمِيرُ حِمْصَ - عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَمَّا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ " مَا فَوْقَ الإِزَارِ وَالتَّعَفُّفُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ - يَعْنِي الْحَدِيثَ - بِالْقَوِيِّ .
