Is it permissible for a man to have intercourse with his wife before he feeds [the poor]?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So, is it permissible for him to have intercourse with her before he feeds [the poor]? [Al-Mujadila 58:3] However, the second opinion is that it is not permissible for him to have intercourse with her until he has fed sixty poor people, because if freeing a slave and fasting require that it be done before touching, then feeding is even more so, as it is generally easier than freeing a slave and fasting. In summary: What is the definition of zihar? Who knows it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is likening one's wife to a forbidden relative in terms of prohibition. You must restrict this to those who are permanently forbidden to him. Now, what is the ruling on zihar? Is it lawful or forbidden?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The student: His saying, the Exalted: "And indeed, they say"
The Shaykh : "And indeed, they say"
The student: "An evil statement and a lie"
The Shaykh : "An evil statement and a lie." Now, what is the difference between it being an evil statement and it being a lie? Brother?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is evil in ruling and a lie in report. That is all. May Allah reward you. Rest and sit down. Now, brother, what is obligatory upon the one who has committed zihar with his wife?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, if he wants to return to her and have intercourse with her?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : First, freeing a slave. If he does not find one?
The student: Fasting two consecutive months.
The Shaykh : If he is unable to do so?
The student: Feeding sixty poor people.
The Shaykh : So, feeding sixty poor people before he has intercourse with her. Now, well done. Rest.
