He says: May Allah reward you. If a man pronounces zihar against his wife for a period of one month?

The Shaykh:
He separated from his wife.

The questioner:
If a man pronounces zihar against his wife for a period of one month and does not have intercourse with her until after the month has passed, is the kaffarah (expiation) obligatory for him upon having intercourse after the month?

The Shaykh:
There is no doubt. Even if it is after one day. If he takes an oath to abstain from her, and then has intercourse with her, the kaffarah is obligatory for him, even if it is after a moment. Is it zihar or ila'? Shall I repeat the question?

The Shaykh:

The questioner:

When the month ends, the zihar ends, so he owes nothing after the month.

The Shaykh:
The kaffarah is obligatory for him if he wants to have intercourse with her before the month. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
