Question:
He also asks for the exegesis of the saying of the Truthful One (Blessed and Exalted is He): [al-Baqarah: 226].
Answer:
The verse concerns ila', and ila' is an oath, meaning: they swear [al-Baqarah: 226] they swear regarding their wives not to have intercourse with them for four months or more. So if he says: "By Allah, I will not have intercourse with you for five months or a year," then he is stopped after four months have passed:
If he waits only four months, and then he returns—meaning he has intercourse with her—then praise be to Allah, and he owes the expiation for the oath.
And if he does not return, and she requests that he be stopped, then the Shari'ah judge stops him and says to him: either you return, or you divorce, according to her request. And if she permits it and leaves him to complete his oath, there is nothing wrong with that.
So if he says: "By Allah, I will not have intercourse with you for five months, or six months," meaning: more than four months; then she has the choice:
If she is patient, there is nothing wrong with it, and he owes no expiation.
And if she is not patient, she has the right to demand that he return after four months, meaning: that he have intercourse with her. So if he has intercourse with her, he expiates for his oath; because he had intercourse with her before the period was completed, and he owes the expiation for the oath. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
