Question:
This questioner asks: How do we reconcile the statement of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that if a man pronounces divorce three times, his wife is not lawful to him until she marries another husband, with the fact that it is considered zihar (likening one's wife to a forbidden relative), which entails an expiation for zihar?
Answer:
It entails an expiation for zihar, and it takes on the meaning of divorce; it takes on the ruling of divorce. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
