Malik said, "There is no harm in someone who is in itikaf entering into a marriage contract as long as there is no physical relationship. A woman in itikaf may also be betrothed as long as there is no physical relationship. What is haram for someone in itikaf in relation to his womenfolk during the day is haram for him during the night." Yahya said that Ziyad said that Malik said, "It is not halal for a man to have intercourse with his wife while he is in itikaf, nor for him to take pleasure in her by kissing her, or whatever. However, I have not heard anyone disapproving of a man, or woman, in itikaf getting married as long as there is no physical relationship. Marriage is not disapproved of for someone fasting." "There is, however, a distinction between the marriage of someone in itikaf and that of someone who is muhrim, in that some one who is muhrim can eat, drink, visit the sick and attend funerals, but cannot put on perfume, whilst a man or woman in itikaf can put on oil and perfume and groom their hair, but cannot attend funerals or pray over the dead or visit the sick. Thus their situations with regard to marriage are different." "This is the sunna as it has come down to us regarding marriage for those who are muhrim, doing itikaf, or fasting.
قالَ يَحْيى، قالَ زِيادٌ، قالَ مالِكٌ: لاَ بَأْسَ بِنِكاحِ المُعْتَكِفِ نِكاحَ المِلْكِ. ما لَمْ يَكُنِ المَسِيسُ. والمَرْأةُ المُعْتَكِفَةُ أيْضًا، تُنْكَحُ نِكاحَ الخِطْبَةِ. ما لَمْ يَكُنِ المَسِيسُ. قالَ: ويَحْرُمُ عَلى المُعْتَكِفِ مِن أهْلِهِ بِاللَّيْلِ، ما يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ مِنهُمْ بِالنَّهارِ. قالَ مالِكٌ: ولاَ يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أنْ يَمَسَّ امْرَأتَهُ وهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ. ولاَ يَتَلَذَّذُ مِنها بِشَيْءٍ، بِقُبْلَةٍ، ولاَ غَيْرِها. قالَ زِيادٌ، قالَ مالِكٌ: ولَمْ أسْمَعْ أحَدًا يَكْرَهُ لِلْمُعْتَكِفِ، ولاَ لِلْمُعْتَكِفَةِ أنْ يَنْكِحا فِي اعْتِكافِهِما. ما لَمْ يَكُنِ المَسِيسُ. ولاَ يُكْرَهُ لِلصّائِمِ أنْ يَنْكِحَ فِي صِيامِهِ. وفَرْقٌ بَيْنَ نِكاحِ المُعْتَكِفِ، وبَيْنَ نِكاحِ المُحْرِمِ. أنَّ المُحْرِمَ يَأْكُلُ، ويَشْرَبُ، ويَعُودُ المَرِيضَ، ويَشْهَدُ الجَنائِزَ، ولاَ يَتَطَيَّبُ. [والمُعْتَكِفُ] والمُعْتَكِفَةُ، يَدَّهِنانِ، ويَتَطَيَّبانِ، ويَأْخُذُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُما مِن شَعَرِهِ، ولاَ يَشْهَدانِ الجَنائِزَ، ولاَ يُصَلِّيانِ عَلَيْها، ولاَ يَعُودانِ المَرْضى. فَأمْرُهُما فِي النِّكاحِ مُخْتَلِفٌ. قالَ زِيادٌ، قالَ مالِكٌ: وذلِكَ لِما مَضى مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، فِي نِكاحِ المُحْرِمِ، والمُعْتَكِفِ، والصّائِمِ.
