Is the expiation for zihar obligatory on the wife from whom zihar was pronounced?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a man pronounces zihar against his wife, is the expiation for zihar obligatory on the wife? If a man pronounces zihar against his wife, is the expiation for zihar obligatory on the wife?

Answer:
Glory be to Allah. The one who bears the expiation for zihar is the one who pronounced it, and that is the husband. However, if a woman were to say to her husband, “You are to me as the back of my father,” the scholars differed on this. Some said this is zihar, just like the zihar of a man. Others said no, this is an oath, and she is liable for the expiation of an oath. The view that is currently followed is that she is liable for the expiation of an oath, which is feeding ten poor people, up to the completion of the expiation. Yes.
