موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الطلاقBook: On the Explanation of Divorce
بَابُ ظِهَارِ الْحُرِّZihar (declaring wife as unlawful) by a free man
Hadith 1157B3
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَمَنْ تَظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ، ثُمَّ مَسَّهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَفَّارَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَيَكُفُّ عَنْهَا حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ، وَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ، وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a person performs zihar and then has intercourse with the woman before offering the expiation, only one expiation will be obligatory upon him. Now, until he gives the expiation, he should remain separate from the woman and seek forgiveness from Allah. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that I have heard this as good.
