Question:
I ask Allah to reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: In our fiqh curriculum, in the lesson on zihar, it is stated that if a man commits zihar without specifying a time, he is not required to pay the expiation for zihar. However, if he commits zihar with a specific time, for example, if he says to his wife, “You are to me as the back of my mother for one month of Muharram,” then if he intends to have intercourse during that month of Muharram, he is required to pay the expiation for zihar. Is this correct?
Answer:
You must bring me this book so I can see this statement. This is a false statement, and the scholars of knowledge never say it. You must bring it so we can see it.
