The ruling on one who ejaculates while fasting for the expiation of zihar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man pronounced zihar regarding his wife, so he began fasting for two consecutive months. When he had completed ten days of fasting, he played with her during the day and ejaculated. Does he have to start the fasting over, or does he continue?
Answer:
First, he started fasting without a fatwa; that is not acceptable. He must seek a ruling before doing so. He should look into what is required of him, as it may not be zihar; it could be something else. So he should seek a ruling first. He should go to the Department of Ifta and seek a ruling. Yes.
