English translation

2221. It was reported from Sufyān, that Al-Ḥakam bin Abān narrated from 'Ikrimah, that a man pronounced Zihār on his wife, and then engaged in intercourse with her before paying the expiation. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Why did you do what you did?" He said: "I saw the whiteness of her shin in the moonlight!" So he said: "Then stay away from her until you pay the expiation." (Da'īf)

Arabic text

2221 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ، ثُمَّ وَاقَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنَّ يُكَفِّرَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟»، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ، قَالَ: «فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ عَنْكَ»

Commentary

In case of Zihār, it is not permissible for one to come near his wife before expiation.
