The questioner:
Allah, the connection is severed.
The Shaykh:
Yes, some people are told to fast for sixty days, and they say, "If I had been able to fast, I would not have done it." If he is unable to do so because of the intensity of his desire, he feeds sixty poor people. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
Because the wife does not have an expiation, O Shaykh, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask about it.
The Shaykh:
The ruling is one; the rulings of the Shari'ah encompass both men and women. If a ruling is issued for one, it encompasses all, men and women alike. Is there anything else?
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, O Shaykh,
