وَلَوْ نَظَرَ إلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَتَفَكَّرَ فَأَنْزَلَ لَمْ يُفْطِرْهُ، وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ: إنْ تَتَابَعَ نَظَرُهُ فَطَّرَهُ لِأَنَّ التَّتَابُعَ فِي النَّظَرِ كَالْمُبَاشَرَةِ

وَلَنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ الْجِمَاعُ لَا صُورَةً وَلَا مَعْنًى لِعَدَمِ الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَأَشْبَهَ الِاحْتِلَامَ بِخِلَافِ الْمُبَاشَرَةِ

وإذا نَظَرَ إلَى امْرَأَةٍ بِشَهْوَةٍ في وَجْهِهَا أو فَرْجِهَا كَرَّرَ النَّظَرَ أَوَّلًا لَا يُفْطِرُ إذَا أَنْزَلَ كَذَا في فَتْحِ الْقَدِيرِ وَكَذَا لَا يُفْطِرُ بِالْفِكْرِ إذَا أَمْنَى هَكَذَا في السِّرَاجِ الْوَهَّاجِ

واما من الفرج فسبعة أشياء

أحدها الاحتلام بالنهار........ والسابع إذا أصبح جنبا
