Hadith.2102 - It is narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Zurara, who said
"I asked Abu Ja'far (as) about the ruling on an individual performing i'tikaf who engages in sexual relations. Imam (as) said: 'If they do so, they incur the same penalty as one who has taken a vow of zihar (atonement).'" It has also been narrated: "If they engage in sexual relations during the night, they must pay one expiation. However, if they engage in sexual relations during the day, they must pay two expiations."
2102 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُعْتَكِفِ يُجَامِعُ قَالَ «إِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْهِ مَا عَلَى اَلْمُظَاهِرِ ». وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ إِنْ جَامَعَ فِي اَللَّيْلِ فَعَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ إِنْ جَامَعَ بِالنَّهَارِ فَعَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَتَانِ.
