سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع- عَنِ الْمُعْتَكِفِ يُجَامِعُ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ إِذَا فَعَلَ فَعَلَيْهِ مَا عَلَى الْمُظَاهِرِ.
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who in the state of ‘Itikaf engages in sexual intercourse with his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he does it he is required to do what one is required to do because of Zihar’ (calling on oath the back of one’s wife as the back of one’s mother) that is, two consecutive months
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ مُعْتَكِفٍ وَاقَعَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in ‘Itikaf engages in sexual relation with his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is like one who destroys one day of fast in the month of Ramadan.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُعْتَكِفِ يَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ لَا يَأْتِي امْرَأَتَهُ لَيْلًا وَ لَا نَهَاراً وَ هُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ.
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who engages in sexual relation with his wife in ‘Itikaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not go to his wife in ‘Itikaf in the day or night while he is in ‘Itikaf.’”
