One becomes ill, in i'tikaf or finds Haydh (menses)
2 Aḥadīth

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا مَرِضَ الْمُعْتَكِفُ وَطَمِثَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُعْتَكِفَةُ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي بَيْتَهُ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُ إِذَا بَرَأَ وَيَصُومُ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ ذَلِكَ.


1. Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “Abi ‘Abdillah (a.s), has said: ‘If one in the state of I'tikaf becomes ill or a female begins to experience Haydh (menses); they can go home then after getting well perform the I’tikaf again and fast.’”

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الْمُعْتَكِفَةِ إِذَا طَمِثَتْ قَالَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا وَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ رَجَعَتْ فَقَضَتْ مَا عَلَيْهَا.


2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from and Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘If a female in Ttikaf begins to experience Hayd (menses) she must go home; and after becoming clean return to complete Qada’ (compensatory ’Ttikaf) of what she owes.’”
