قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَشْهَلُ، ثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ:
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ شُرَيْحًا عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَعْتَكِفَ رَجَبَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ زِيَادٌ أَوِ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ نَهَى النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفْنَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ فِي كِتَابٍ مُنَزَّلٍ، وَلَا فِي سُنَّةٍ مَاضِيَةٍ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ رَأْيٌ ; تَصُومُ رَجَبَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، فَإِذَا أَفْطَرَتْ أَفْطَرَ مَعَهَا كُلُّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينٌ، أَوْ أَطْعَمَتْ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِسْكِينًا، نُسُكَانِ بِنُسُكٍ وَاحِدٍ، يَفْعَلُ اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ

✧ A man asked Shurayh about a woman who vowed to perform i'tikaf during Rajab of that year in the mosque. He said: And Ziyad or Ibn Ziyad had forbidden women from performing i'tikaf in the mosque. Shurayh said: I do not say that it is in a revealed book, nor in a past Sunnah; it is only an opinion. She should fast Rajab of that year, and when she breaks her fast, a poor person should break his fast with her every day, or she should feed a poor person every night—two acts of worship for one. God does whatever He wills.
