أُحِلَّ لَکُمْ لَیْلَةَ الصِّیَامِ الرَّفَتُ إِلَى نِسَآئِکُمْ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّکُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ عَلِمَ اللهُ أَنَّکُمْ کُنتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَکُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَیْکُمْ وَعَفَاعَنکُم فَالْئَـنَ بَـشِرُوهُنَّ وَابْتَغُوا مَا کَتَبَ اللهُ لَکُمْ وَکُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى یَتَبَیَّنَ لَکُمُ الْخَیْطُ الاَْبْیَضُ مِنَ الْخَیْطِ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّیَامَ إِلَى الَّیْلِ وَلاَ تُبَـشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَـکِفُونَ فِى الْمَسَـجِدِ تِلْکَ حُدُودُ اللهِ فَلاَ تَقْرَبُوهَا کَذَلِکَ یُبَیِّنُ اللهُ ءَایَـتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُونَ(( 187 ))

187- IT IS MADE LAWFUL TO YOU, ON THE NIGHT OF THE FAST, SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH YOUR WIVES. THEY ARE A VESTMENT FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE A VESTMENT FOR THEM. (GUARDING EACH OTHER) ALLAH KNEW THAT YOU WERE BETRAYING YOURSELVES, (IN DOING THAT WHICH WAS UNLAWFUL) SO HE TURNED TO YOU AND PARDONED YOU. SO NOW, YOU MAY ASSOCIATE WITH THEM, AND SEEK WHAT ALLAH HAS ORDAINED FOR YOU; AND EAT AND DRINK UNTIL THE WHITE THREAD OF DAWN APPEARS TO YOU DISTINCT FROM ITS BLACK THREAD. THEN COMPLETE THE FAST TILL NIGHT. AND DO NOT APPROACH THEM WHILE YOU ARE IN RETREAT IN THE MOSQUES. THESE ARE THE BOUNDS (LIMITS) OF ALLAH; DO NOT COME NEAR THEM. THUS ALLAH MAKES CLEAR HIS SIGNS FOR PEOPLE THAT THEY MAY GUARD AGAINST EVIL.
