الظِّهَارُ إِذَا عَجَزَ صَاحِبُهُ عَنِ الْكَفَّارَةِ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّهُ وَ يَنْوِي أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ ثُمَّ لْيُوَاقِعْ وَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْكَفَّارَةِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى مَا يُكَفِّرُ يَوْماً مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ فَلْيُكَفِّرْ وَ إِنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَ أَطْعَمَ نَفْسَهُ وَ عِيَالَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِئُهُ إِذَا كَانَ مُحْتَاجاً وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّهُ وَ يَنْوِي أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ فَحَسْبُهُ ذَلِكَ وَ اللَّهِ كَفَّارَةً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Zihaar</span>, when its perpetrator is frustrated from the expiation, so let him seek Forgiveness from his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and make the intention that he would not repeat before he copulates (with his wife again). Then let him copulate, and that would suffice from him as the expiation. So when he finds the way to what he can expiate with, on a day from the days, so let him expiate, even if it be a charity, and feeding himself and his family, so he has sufficed it, when he is a needy. And if he cannot find that, so let him seek Forgiveness from his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and make the intention that he would not repeat it, so that would count, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, as an expiation’.
