Forbidden while fasting (Sehri to iftar), forbidden during 'Atteqaf' (Period / day that one stays mostly in the mosque/inprayers during this month)
Allowed during the nights in the month of ramajan & all other days (any time) & completely forbidden with anyone other one's own wife, irrespective of month.
It is forbidden & a sin; to put such restrictions in religion, which has been permitted by Allah; even if it is intended to look for purity / closeness to Allah. Violation of Allah doesn't bring you close to Him.
But unfortunately many muslims have this wrong perception of doing more, even in violation of what you are told to do/ not to do. That's a Sin. Even the prophet was admonished by Allah for the same reason. When he tried to act safe by hiding his desire of marrying Zainab after she was divorced by her husband Zaid (Adopted Son of the Prophet).

This is but a saying of your mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He showeth the way.
