Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is not the Shaykh. It was said that the statement that obligates the expiation is the act of stopping, and it was said it is the intention. What contradicts that?
Answer:
The stronger position is that it is the intention. According to the Zahiris, the return is the repetition, repeating the zihar twice, repeating the zihar twice. So in their view, the expiation is not obligatory unless he repeats it twice. This is incorrect. The correct view is that the return means the intention to have intercourse with his wife. Yes.
