The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the expiation for zihar must be performed before intercourse. So what if he…?
The Shaykh:
Because Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mujadila 58:3] Yes.
The questioner:
So what is the ruling if he does it after intercourse, or if he has intercourse while the expiation is in progress?
The Shaykh:
He made a mistake. He should seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him. Yes.
