كتاب الطلاقBook: On the Explanation of Divorce
بَابُ الْإِيلَاءِOath of abstention (Ila')
Hadith 1150
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ آلَى مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرِ، وُقِفَ حَتَّى يُطَلِّقَ أَوْ يَفِيءَ، وَلَا يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ طَلَاقٌ إِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرِ، حَتَّى يُوقَفَ "
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to say: Whoever makes an oath of abstinence (ila) from his wife, when four months have passed, the husband should be compelled before the ruler to either divorce or return; he should revoke the ila and have intercourse. And if four months pass without divorce, divorce will not take effect upon the woman.
