۞
5. A number of our companions reported from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Barqī, from Dāwūd ibn Isḥāq al-Ḥadhdhā’, from Muḥammad ibn al-Faiḍ, who said
I asked Abā ʿAbdillāh al-Sadiq (as) about temporary marriage (mutʿah), and he said: "Yes, if she is knowledgeable." I said: "May I be sacrificed for you, and if she is not knowledgeable?" He said: "Then present the matter to her and say to her, if she accepts, then marry her; but if she refuses to accept your proposal, then leave her. Beware of the 'kawāshif', the 'dawāʿī', the 'baghayā', and the women with husbands." I asked: "What are the 'kawāshif'?" He said: "Those who reveal themselves, and their homes are known and accessible." I said: "And the 'dawāʿī'?" He said: "Those who invite others to themselves and are known for their corruption." I asked: "And the 'baghayā'?" He said: "Those known for fornication." I asked: "And the women with husbands?" He said: "The divorced women who are not in accordance with the Sunnah."
5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ عَارِفَةً قُلْنَا جُعِلْنَا فِدَاكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَارِفَةً قَالَ فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهَا وَقُلْ لَهَا فَإِنْ قَبِلَتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا وَإِنْ أَبَتْ أَنْ تَرْضَى بِقَوْلِكَ فَدَعْهَا وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْكَوَاشِفَ وَالدَّوَاعِيَ وَالْبَغَايَا وَذَوَاتِ الأزْوَاجِ قُلْتُ مَا الْكَوَاشِفُ قَالَ اللَّوَاتِي يُكَاشِفْنَ وَبُيُوتُهُنَّ مَعْلُومَةٌ وَيُؤْتَيْنَ قُلْتُ فَالدَّوَاعِي قَالَ اللَّوَاتِي يَدَّعِينَ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِنَّ وَقَدْ عُرِفْنَ بِالْفَسَادِ قُلْتُ فَالْبَغَايَا قَالَ الْمَعْرُوفَاتُ بِالزِّنَا قُلْتُ فَذَوَاتُ الأزْوَاجِ قَالَ الْمُطَلَّقَاتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ السُّنَّةِ.
