Arabic text

وَبِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو جَارِيَتَهُ فَتَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَنَا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهَا اَلْمُلاَمَسَةُ فَقَالَ« لاَ وَ اَللَّهِ مَا بِذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ وَ رُبَّمَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَ مَا يَعْنِي بِهَذَا« أَوْ لاٰمَسْتُمُ اَلنِّسٰاءَ» إِلاَّ اَلْمُوَاقَعَةَ دُونَ اَلْفَرْجِ».

Translation

Through the same chain of narration, from Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Aban bin ‘Uthman, from Abu Maryam, who said: I said to Abu Ja‘far (a.s): "What do you say about a man who performs ablution (wudu’), then calls his servant-girl, and she takes his hand and leads him to the mosque? Those among us claim that this is considered 'touching' (mulamasah)." He (a.s) said: "By Allah (swt), there is no harm in this, and I have done it myself. What is meant by the verse, 'or you touched women' (Surah An-Nisa 4:43), is not physical touch but sexual intercourse without penetration."
