Cheating from Man’s Side in Marriage

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Fadl al- Hashimiy from certain persons of his teachers who have said the following: “It is about the case of a woman before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, when a man asked him (the Imam) about a man against whom his wife alleges that he is impotent but the man denies it, abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, said, ‘She must allow the nurse to fill her with al-Khaluq (a certain perfume) without allowing the man to know. He then goes to bed with her; if perfume is found on his penis he has told the truth, otherwise, she has spoken the truth and he has lied.’”
