The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1380 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَظَرَ إِلَى سَاقِ امْرَأَةٍ فَأَمْنَى قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مُوسِراً فَعَلَيْهِ بَدَنَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ فَبَقَرَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَقِيراً فَشَاةٌ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَاءِ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَا لا يَحِلُّ لَهُ.

7. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who is in the state of Ihram, looks at the leg of a woman and discharges semen. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is affluent, he owes badanah; if he is not so much affluent, then it is a cow; if he is poor then it is a sheep. I do not place it on him because of semen but it is because of looking to what is not lawful for him.’”
