سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ فِي الْإِيلَاءِ إِذَا آلَى الرَّجُلُ أَنْ لَا يَقْرَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ لَا يَمَسَّهَا وَ لَا يَجْمَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رَأْسَهَا فَهُوَ فِي سَعَةٍ مَا لَمْ تَمْضِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرِ فَإِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وُقِفَ فَإِمَّا أَنْ يَفِيءَ فَيَمَسَّهَا وَ إِمَّا أَنْ يَعْزِمَ عَلَى الطَّلَاقِ فَيُخَلِّيَ عَنْهَا حَتَّى إِذَا حَاضَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا بِشَهَادَةِ عَدْلَيْنِ ثُمَّ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَمْضِ الثَّلَاثَةُ الْأَقْرَاءِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the solemn oath when the man oaths that he would not approach his wife and will not touch her, nor gather his head and her head, so he is in a leeway for as long as four months do not pass by. So when four months pass by, he pauses. So either he fulfils, so he touches her, and if he is determined upon the divorce, so he separates from her until she menstruates and is pure from her menstruation, divorces her with one divorce before he sleeps with her, with two just witnesses. Then he is more rightful with reverting back to her for as long as three <span class="iTxt">Quroos</span> (pure periods) do not pass by her’.
