Those who said: his return is expiation and nothing is due from him

Al-Hasan used to say: His returning (to his wife) is itself its expiation.

Ibrahim was asked about a man who takes an oath of ila' (abstention) from his wife and then returns to her (what is the ruling?). He said: Some of them (the Companions and jurists) used to say: His returning is itself the expiation.

Al-Hasan was asked about a man who swears that he will not go near his wife for ten days, and then he goes near her before the ten days are over. He said: There is no expiation upon him.
