The Sufficient (Vol 7) · Hadith 875 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ الظِّهَارُ إِذَا عَجَزَ صَاحِبُهُ عَنِ الْكَفَّارَةِ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّهُ وَيَنْوِي أَنْ لا يَعُودَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ ثُمَّ لْيُوَاقِعْ وَقَدْ أَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْكَفَّارَةِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى مَا يُكَفِّرُ يَوْماً مِنَ الأيَّامِ فَلْيُكَفِّرْ وَإِنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَطْعَمَ نَفْسَهُ وَعِيَالَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِئُهُ إِذَا كَانَ مُحْتَاجاً وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّهُ وَيَنْوِي أَنْ لا يَعُودَ فَحَسْبُهُ ذَلِكَ وَاللهِ كَفَّارَةً.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that in the case of al-Zihar if the man fails to pay the expiation, he must then ask forgiveness from his Lord and keep his intention not to repeat it again before going to bed and then go to bed, it is sufficient for expiation. When he finds a way to pay the expiation in one of the days, he then must pay the expiation. If he pays charity, feeds himself and his family, it is sufficient if he is needy. If he cannot find, then he must ask forgiveness from his Lord and keep his intention not to repeat it again; it then is enough, by Allah as the expiation.’”
