Discussion regarding the repetition of a prohibited act.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them until the Day of Judgment.
It was previously stated regarding one who repeats a prohibited act whether the expiation is repeated or not. We clarified that if he pays the expiation for the first instance, he must pay it for the second, meaning it is repeated in every case if he pays for the first. If he did not pay for the first, we look at the situation: if the prohibited act is of one type, it is not repeated; if they are of different types, it is repeated. Accordingly, if a person wears his garment, then pays the expiation, then wears his garment a second time, he owes another expiation. However, if he did not pay for the first, he owes only one expiation. But this is conditioned on the fact that he does not delay the expiation in order to prevent it from being repeated. If he does that, he will be punished with the opposite of his intention, so that he does not resort to a ruse to evade the obligatory duty.
