Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one who pronounces zihar does not find the expiation, is it dropped from him and he owes nothing, and he may have intercourse with his wife, or does the expiation remain a debt on him?
Answer:
How is it that he does not find the expiation? The expiation has levels. First is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, he fasts two consecutive months. If he is unable to do that, he feeds sixty poor people. He does not have intercourse with his wife until he performs the expiation according to his ability, before they resume relations. Yes.
