“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs sexual intercourse with his wife before Tawaf al-Nisa’.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and is involved in sexual intercourse with his wife before performing Tawaf of Ziyarat.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is required to perform Tawaf al- Nisa’ alone.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who before Tawaf and Sa‘y between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah and after shaving says to his wife or slave-girl to remove her clothes to one side and he looks at her vagina. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is nothing upon him if there is nothing else besides looking.’”
