4415 - سَأَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلشَّابَّةُ فَيُمْسِكُ عَنْهَا اَلْأَشْهُرَ وَ اَلسَّنَةَ لاَ يَقْرَبُهَا لَيْسَ يُرِيدُ اَلْإِضْرَارَ بِهَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ آثِماً قَالَ "إِذَا تَرَكَهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ كَانَ آثِماً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِإِذْنِهَا".
Hadith.4415 - Safwan ibn Yahya asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), about a man who has a young wife and refrains from approaching her for months or even a year, not intending to harm her but due to some hardship or difficulty they are facing. Is he considered sinful for this? The Imam (as) replied: "If he refrains from her for four months, he is sinful after that unless it is with her consent."
