Illa

The document discusses Islamic rulings around a husband making a vow to refrain from sexual relations with his wife for a specified period of time, known as Ila. There are three situations that constitute Ila: 1) if no time is specified, 2) if four months is specified, or 3) if over four months is specified. If the husband breaks the vow before four months, he must perform expiation like freeing a slave or feeding the poor. If four months pass without returning to his wife, divorce occurs. The document also discusses Zihar, where a husband compares his wife to his mother, which was a pre-Islamic sinful practice corrected by Islam, requiring expiation for the husband.

The jusists have also included in the act of Zihar a husbands comparing his wife with his mother or any other woman who is permanently forbidden to him in marriage. This was a sinful practice which existed in the pre Islamic days and was corrected by Islam. The Quraan prohibits the believers from practicing Zihar and has imposed a penalty upon

Themfor doing the same'. The Quraan states, "Those who pronounce Zihar amongst you (to
separate) from their wives (by calling them mothers) they cannot be their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed they are saying an undesirable state ment and a. falsehood. But indeed Allah is pardoning and forgiving.''
