And intercourse with a woman is the return of the mind from the state of the mind about God to the observation of the soul, whether it makes it evidence or not evidence. If it makes it evidence, then the evidence and the signified do not go together, so it is not valid to reside with God and to be immersed in the soul. The highest return to the soul and its clothing is to be accompanied by evidence, but if no evidence is accompanied by it, then there is nothing left. Except for witnesses of nature, the person in seclusion should not have intercourse with women, whether in a mosque or not.
