The waiting period for a man who has pronounced zihar on his wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a man remains in a state of zihar with his wife, and he neither expiates nor returns to her, what is the waiting period imposed on him in that case? Is it the period of harm?
Answer:
Yes, it becomes like the case of the one who has sworn an oath of abstinence (ila'). If four months have passed and his wife demands it, the judge stops him and tells him that he must either expiate for his oath of zihar and return to his wife, or he must divorce her.
