And He has not made your wives
وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَاجَكُمُ اللَّائِي [Al-Ahzab 33:4]
He says
“with a hamza and a ya, and without a ya”, with a hamza and a ya
the ones
اللائي
and without a ya, meaning with a hamza and without a ya, so it becomes
the la
اللاء
and
the ones
اللائي
as we know, the plural of laish? That is, and the la, so it is like the plural of the males, the plural of those, yes.
the ones
اللائي
He says in my opinion
you practice zihar
تظّهرون
“without an alif before the ha, and with it, and the second ta is originally assimilated into the tha”.
you practice zihar
تظّهرون
This is one reading, and the second says without an alif before the ha, and with it, meaning with an alif before the ha, what does it become?
You claim
تظّاهرون
These are two readings, and up to now the author has not brought the reading that is famous among us, which is
you practice zihar
تظاهرون
, so there are three readings in the verse:
you practice zihar
تظّهرون
You claim
تظّاهرون
and the third is
you practice zihar
تُظاهرون
and
You claim
تظّاهرون
.
and you practice zihar
وتظّهرون
He says that the tha is originally assimilated into the tha, and the ta is assimilated into the tha, and its original form is tuta’ahhiruna or tuta’hiruna, but it became
you practice zihar
تظّهرون
, the ta was assimilated into the tha. What does it mean?
you practice zihar from them
تُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ
It means you say that they are to you like the backs of your mothers. This is a form of divorce in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. If a man wanted to divorce his wife with a final divorce, he would say to her, “You are to me like the back of my mother,” and she would be divorced with a final divorce, because the back of his mother is not lawful for him in any way. He specified the back because it is the place of riding, and a man rides his wife or she rides him, yes, yes, he rides her because she is a bed, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So,
You claim
تظّاهرون
what does it mean?
you practice zihar
تظاهرون
It means you say to them, “You are to us like the back of our mother.” This phrase is considered by the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance a final divorce, but in Islam it is not a divorce. What is it in Islam? It is zihar, meaning it necessitates the prohibition of the woman until the man does what Allah has commanded him, as in Surat al-Mujadila:
you practice zihar with them
تَظّاهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ
, such as one saying to his wife, “You are to me like the back of my mother.” He may say something other than this phrase; he may say, “You are to me like the back of my sister,” or he may say, “You are to me like the belly of my mother.” The criterion is the meaning, not the form. We have passed through in the book of zihar that a man likening his wife to one who is permanently prohibited to him by lineage or by a cause that is lawfully permanently prohibited—this is zihar. And the disagreement has been mentioned previously regarding whether he prohibited her, or if he practiced zihar with her and likened her to what is prohibited to him for a limited time.

The Shaykh : The Saba'ic recitation, the Saba'ic recitation sometimes refers to this and that without saying "and in a reading," and sometimes it says "and in a reading" by quoting a man, for example, saying to his wife, "You are to me as the back of my mother"

"That is, like mothers in their prohibition by that which was considered a divorce in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and the expiation becomes obligatory for it with its condition, as mentioned in Surat al-Mujadilah" In Islam, it is not a divorce, but it is a prohibition for which an expiation becomes obligatory with its condition, which is returning to her, by the saying of Allah the Exalted
