ا إِذَا آلَى الرَّجُلُ أَنْ لَا يَقْرَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلَيْسَ لَهَا قَوْلٌ وَ لَا حَقٌّ فِي الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ وَ لَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي كَفِّهِ عَنْهَا فِي الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ فَإِنْ مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَسَكَتَتْ وَ رَضِيَتْ فَهُوَ فِي حِلٍّ وَ سَعَةٍ فَإِنْ رَفَعَتْ أَمْرَهَا قِيلَ لَهُ إِمَّا أَنْ تَفِيءَ فَتَمَسَّهَا وَ إِمَّا أَنْ تُطَلِّقَ وَ عَزْمُ الطَّلَاقِ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ عَنْهَا فَإِذَا حَاضَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ طَلَّقَهَا وَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَمْضِ ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ فَهَذَا الْإِيلَاءُ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Umar Bin Azina, from Bukeyr Bin Ayn and Bureyd Bin Muawiya, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, both of them<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When the man solemnly oaths that he would not go near his wife, so it is not for her to say (anything), nor any right during the four months, nor is there a sin upon him with regards to his refraining from her during the four months. So when the four months pass by before him having touched her, so she is silent and pleased, so he is in a solution and a leeway. So if she raises her matter, it would be said to him, ‘Either you meet, so you touch her, or you divorce, and if the divorce is determined if you stay clear from her’. So when she menstruates and is pure, he divorces her, and he is more rightful with reverting back to her for as long as three <span class="iTxt">Quroo</span>s (pure periods) do not pass by. So this is the solemn oath which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Revealed in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book, and a Sunnah of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>’.
