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".
Safwan ibn Yahya asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (a.s), 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 (a.s) replied: "If he refrains from her for four months, he is sinful after that unless it is with her consent."
