A man swearing not to consummate with his wife in a certain place: those who said he is not making ila

Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man married a woman, then her family made things difficult for him, and he swore that he would not have intercourse with his wife, then this is not ila, because ila only takes place after consummation.

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man makes ila before consummation, it is not ila. He was asked: What if he is able to have intercourse but does not? He said: Even if he is able to have intercourse and does not, the ruling is the same.

Abu Hashim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man said concerning his wife, "By Allah, I will not have intercourse with my wife in this house," and then did not go near her for four months, it is ila; whereas Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not ila.

And Hammad said: It is not ila.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) married a woman, and the people asked for an increase in the dowry. Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) swore that he would neither increase the dowry nor consummate the marriage with her until they themselves were the ones asking him for that. Then he left her for some years; then the people requested him, so he consummated the marriage with his wife, and he did not regard it as ila. Waki' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is also the view of Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him), and this is our opinion too.

Waki' said: This is the view of Sufyan, and this is what we say too.
