Chapter: And whoever repeats a prohibited act of the same type without having paid the expiation pays it once, unlike hunting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter: And whoever repeats a prohibited act of the same type pays the expiation once and does not pay the expiation once, unlike hunting" If a person repeats a prohibited act of the same type, even if more than once, even ten times, and has not paid the expiation, then he pays the expiation once. For example, if he trims his nails twice, or wears sewn clothing twice, or wears sewn clothing twice, or shaves twice, or has sexual intercourse twice or more, and it is of the same type, then he owes one expiation if he has not committed major shirk, by analogy to the case where multiple incidents of the same type occur, in which case one ablution suffices for him. Similarly, these prohibited acts, if he does things of the same type, he owes one expiation. Wearing is one thing, shaving is one thing, trimming is one thing, perfume is one thing, covering the head is one thing. And on this basis, if he wears clothing and covers his head, then there are two expiations, because covering the head is of one type and wearing is of another type. Yes, if he wears a turban with the intention of wearing it, it is light, and we can consider it one thing with wearing the shirt. But if he covers his head with something not usually worn and wears a shirt, then it is considered two things because they are two types. Shaving a finger on the hand and a finger on the foot intentionally, trimming a nail on the hand and a nail on the foot, is one thing, even if the location is multiplied, as if he wears socks, trousers, and a shirt, then it is one thing. And as if he perfumes his hand, head, and chest, for example, then it is one thing. That is to say, its meaning is that multiplying the location does not affect anything as long as the type is one.
The author said: "and did not pay the expiation" So it is known from his words that if he paid the expiation for the first one, he paid for the second one, because the first one ended and his conscience was cleared of it by his expiation, so the second one is a renewal. And his saying "unlike hunting" means that it multiplies according to its number, even if with one shot. If he shoots one shot and hits five pigeons, then he owes five expiations. He does not say that the action is one and the prohibited act is one, because Allah stipulated in the compensation for hunting that it be its like, and likeness includes quantity and quality. So if we assume that he paid with one sheep for the five, he did not bring its like. This is the aspect of the exception for hunting, that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, stipulated likeness in it, and likeness includes likeness in quantity and quality, unlike hunting.
