The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah hasten your reward, if a man contradicts the ruling on zihar (likening one's wife to a forbidden relative) and appoints a proxy, does the zihar take effect?
The Shaykh:
No, the appointment of a proxy is not valid. As long as the appointment of a proxy is not valid, the zihar by the proxy is not valid. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the one who says that in this time...
The Shaykh:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "Those who practice zihar with their wives..." As for the proxy, he is not a woman's husband. Yes.
