7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn Sawqah from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who plays with his wife or slave-girl while fasting for Qada’ (compensatory fast) of the month of Ramadan until semen discharge takes place. He (the Imam) said, ‘Its expiation is like that for having sexual intercourse in the month of Ramadan.’”
