Question:
Do the two views on "returning" each entail a separate ruling for the one who adopts either of them?
Answer:
The view of the Zahiriyyah is not followed. It is held that "returning" means intending to have intercourse. If he intends to have intercourse with her, that is the correct view. Some say that "returning" means repeating it twice, and some say that "returning" means having intercourse with her twice. All these views have no evidence for them.
