Volume 2, Book 26, Number 708:
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar:
We asked Ibn 'Umar whether a man who, while performing 'Umra, had performed Tawaf of the
Ka'ba; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have sexual relation with
his wife, Ibn 'Umar replied "The Prophet (p.b.u.h) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds
(of Tawaf) of the Ka'ba and then offered a two-Rakat prayer behind Maqam ibrahim and then per –
formed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa." He added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah (the same question) and he said,
"He (that man) should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and Mar –
wa."
