سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ فَهُوَ يَبِيتُ عِنْدَ ثَلَاثٍ مِنْهُنَّ فِي لَيَالِيهِنَّ وَ يَمَسُّهُنَّ فَإِذَا بَاتَ عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ فِي لَيْلَتِهَا لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا فَهَلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَذَا إِثْمٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَهَا فِي لَيْلَتِهَا وَ يَظَلَّ عِنْدَهَا صَبِيحَتَهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمٌ إِنْ لَمْ يُجَامِعْهَا إِذَا لَمْ يُرِدْ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Ibrahim Al Karkhy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man for whom are four wives, so he spends the night with three of them during their nights and touches them. So when he spends the night with the fourth during her night, he does not touch her. So is there a sin upon him regarding this?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, upon him is that he spends the night with her during her night, and shades with her until the morning, and there is no sin upon him if he does not copulate with her if he does not want that’.
