بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْإِيلَاءِChapter on what is reported regarding ila' (oath of abstinence from wife)
Hadith 3051
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَطِيَّةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ، وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ، فَقَالَ: هِيَ طَالِقٌ إِنْ قَرَبَهَا حَتَّى تَفْطِمَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: «إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتَ لَكَ وَلِابْنِ أَخِيكَ فَلَا إِيلَاءَ عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّمَا الْإِيلَاءُ مَا كَانَ فِي الْغَضَبِ»
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: He married his brother’s wife while she was breastfeeding his son. He replied: “There is no ila (oath of abstinence) upon you; ila only occurs at the time of anger.”
Brief Explanation
Explanation: There is no explicit statement of hearing (sama‘) from Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu by Abu Atiyyah al-Asadi, therefore this narration is a mursal (interrupted) report of a Tabi‘i. However, a mursal narration of a Companion is considered valid for juristic reasoning, especially when there is no objectionable content or irregularity in the subject matter, and it is supported by other sources.
The Fatwa of Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu:
The original intention is taken into account:
If a husband separates from his wife for a reformative purpose (for example: so that the child may be weaned), then this will not be considered as ila’ (oath of abstention).
Ila’ is that which is done out of quarrel, anger, or a motive of enmity.
