مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ الْكَفَّارَةِ الَّتِي تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ صَوْمٍ أَوْ عِتْقٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ فِي يَمِينٍ أَوْ نَذْرٍ أَوْ قَتْلٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ فِيهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ فَالاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُ كَفَّارَةٌ مَا خَلَا يَمِينَ الظِّهَارِ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يُكَفِّرُ حَرُمَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا وَ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَرْضَى الْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعَهُ وَ لَا يُجَامِعَهَا.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain persons of his people from ‘Asem ibn Hamid ibn Humayd from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. ‘If one fails to pay an expiation which is due on him or setting free of a slave or charity because of an oath or a vow and commitment or murder and so forth or causes for which expiation is obligatory on him, then asking forgiveness is his choice in place of paying expiation. However, in the case of an oath due to Zihar, if one cannot find anything to pay as expiation, going to bed with her remains unlawful and they must stay away from each other unless the woman agrees with his living with her without going to bed.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
