The Case of One Who Involves Himself in Carnal Relations with His Wife on a Journey or Returns from a Journey in the Month of Ramadan

6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following
“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who experiences sexual relation with his slave-girl on a journey in the month of Ramadan during the day. He (the Imam) said, ‘He has not recognized any respect for the month of Ramadan even though there is a long time during the night.’” NOTE: Al-Kulayniy has said that it is better for one to pay respect to the month of Ramadan and abstain from sexual relation during the day. However, if one is overpowered by lust and is afraid from his soul in which case it is permissible to have what is lawful. It is as is permissible for a traveler who does not find water, when desire overpowers him, to have what is lawful. He has said that one receives rewards for it just as it is a sin when he commits something unlawful.
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الأَحْمَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي جَارِيَتَهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِالنَّهَارِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ مَا عَرَفَ هَذَا حَقَّ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِنَّ لَهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ سَبْحاً طَوِيلاً. قَالَ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ الْفَضْلُ عِنْدِي أَنْ يُوَقِّرَ الرَّجُلُ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَيُمْسِكَ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ فِي السَّفَرِ بِالنَّهَارِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ تَغْلِبُهُ الشَّهْوَةُ وَيَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَدْ رُخِّصَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْحَلالَ كَمَا رُخِّصَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ الَّذِي لا يَجِدُ الْمَاءَ إِذَا غَلَبَهُ الشَّبَقُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْحَلالَ قَالَ وَيُؤْجَرُ فِي ذَلِكَ كَمَا أَنَّهُ إِذَا أَتَى الْحَرَامَ أَثِمَ.
