Al-Kafi 11021

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘The man is saying to his wife, ‘You are unto me like the back of’ – either his paternal aunt or his maternal aunt’. He^asws said: ‘It is the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And we asked him about the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>, when does the expiation occur upon its perpetrator?’ So he^asws said: ‘When he intends to copulate with his wife’. I said, ‘Supposing he divorces her before he copulates with her, would there be an expiation upon him?’ He^asws said: ‘The expiation does not drop off from him’. I said, ‘So if he were to Fasts some, so he falls sick, so he breaks the Fasting, shall he start again or he has to complete what remains upon him?’ So he^asws said: ‘If he Fasted a month, so he fell sick, he starts again, and if he exceeded upon the month by one day or two days, he builds upon what remains’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws said: ‘The free woman and the owned (slave) woman are equal, apart from that upon the owned is half of what is upon the free, from the expiation, and there is no emancipation upon him nor a charity, but rather upon him is the Fasting for a month’.
