Chapter on Menstruation, Istihada (abnormal bleeding), and Nifas (postpartum bleeding)

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« وَ أَيُّ اِمْرَأَةٍ كَانَتْ مُعْتَكِفَةً ثُمَّ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهَا اَلصَّلاَةُ فَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَطَهُرَتْ فَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِزَوْجِهَا أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ تَقْضِيَ اِعْتِكَافَهَا».
Ali ibn Asbat reported from his uncle Ya’qub Al-Ahmar, from Abu Basir, who narrated: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Any woman who was observing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) and then became prohibited from prayer (due to menstruation) and left the mosque, if she becomes pure, it is not appropriate for her husband to have intercourse with her until she returns to the mosque and completes her i'tikaf."
