it is lawful for you to go in unto your wives during the night preceding the fast they are as a garment for you and you are as a garment for them. god is aware that you would have deprived yourselves of this right and so he has turned unto you in his mercy and removed this hardship from you. now then you may lie with them skin to skin and avail yourselves of that which god has ordained for you and eat and drink until you can discern the white streak of dawn against the blackness of night and then resume fasting until nightfall but do not lie with them skin to skin when you are about to abide in meditation in houses of worship. these are the bounds set by god do not then offend against them it is thus that god makes clear his messages unto mankind so that they might remain conscious of him.
أحل لكم ليلة الصيام الرفث إلى نسائكم هن لباس لكم وأنتم لباس لهن علم الله أنكم كنتم تختانون أنفسكم فتاب عليكم وعفا عنكم فالآن باشروهن وابتغوا ما كتب الله لكم وكلوا واشربوا حتى يتبين لكم الخيط الأبيض من الخيط الأسود من الفجر ثم أتموا الصيام إلى الليل ولا تباشروهن وأنتم عاكفون في المساجد تلك حدود الله فلا تقربوها كذلك يبين الله آياته للناس لعلهم يتقون
