Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ اَلْبَرْدَ أَ يَدْخُلُ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ فِي لِحَافٍ وَ هُوَ صَائِمٌ قَالَ «يَجْعَلُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَوْباً». وَ قَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «رُخْصَةً لِلشَّيْخِ فِي اَلْمُبَاشَرَةِ.
Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام that he was asked about a man who feels cold. Can he share a blanket with his wife while fasting? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should place a cloth between them." It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Imam عليه السلام: "[There is] a concession for the elderly in physical closeness." - permitting physical closeness for an elderly person.
