The meaning of ila' and its details?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hmm? Okay, and what does the word "ila" mean?
The Shaykh : The trick is that a man swears an oath to his wife that he will not have intercourse with her. For four months, or indefinitely. Yes. This confuses us. I mean, that he swears to abstain from intercourse with his wife for four months or more. Okay, what do we do?
The questioner : We tell him that when the four months are up, we say to him:
The Shaykh : We set a period of four months for him.
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Either he divorces her or he returns to his wife. Okay, do the days of post-natal bleeding count against her?
The questioner : The days of post-natal bleeding count for him, meaning:
The Shaykh : Do they count for them or not?
The questioner : I mean, if he says, for example, "My wife is in post-natal bleeding," we say to him:
The Shaykh : Like this: He said to his wife, who was pregnant, "I swear by Allah I will not have intercourse with her for five months." Did you understand? And she demanded it. They say her term is four months. Her term is four months. After ten days had passed, she gave birth and remained in post-natal bleeding for forty days. Do we count the forty days from the four months or not?
The questioner : We add to the four months.
The Shaykh : I am asking you: do we count them or not?
The questioner : I repeat the question.
The Shaykh : This is a man who swore an oath against his wife, and we set a period of four months for him. After the period had passed by ten days, she gave birth, and she remained in post-natal bleeding for forty days. Do we count the forty days from the four-month period or not?
The questioner : We count them.
The Shaykh : We respect that. But the brothers seem to disagree.
The questioner : But the understanding is, or am I understanding the issue, that if she is in post-natal bleeding, the period does not count against her.
The Shaykh : This woman came to complain. What did she say? She said she had post-natal bleeding for forty days. Do we count it from the four months or not?
The questioner : I count it from the four months.
The Shaykh : It is not respected with Allah. If the four months are completed, we add to them.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh : Forty days.
