موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الاعتكافBook: On the Explanation of I'tikaf (Spiritual Retreat)
بَابُ النِّكَاحِ فِي الِاعْتِكَافِMarriage during I'tikaf
Hadith 651Q1
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : لَا بَأْسَ بِنِكَاحِ الْمُعْتَكِفِ نِكَاحَ الْمِلْكِ. مَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمَسِيسُ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ الْمُعْتَكِفَةُ أَيْضًا ، تُنْكَحُ نِكَاحَ الْخِطْبَةِ. مَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمَسِيسُ ، وَيَحْرُمُ عَلَى الْمُعْتَكِفِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، بِاللَّيْلِ مَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُنَّ بِالنَّهَارِ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a person observing i'tikaf contracts a marriage during the state of i'tikaf, there is nothing objectionable in it, but physical contact is not permissible. Similarly, a woman can only contract a marriage during i'tikaf, but physical contact is not allowed. And whatever acts are prohibited for the person observing i'tikaf with his wife during the day are also prohibited at night.
