Hadith.4835 - Jamil ibn Darraj asked Imam (as) about ẓihar and when the obligation of expiation becomes due upon the one who declares it. Imam (as) replied: "When he intends to have intercourse with his wife." I asked: "If he divorces her before having intercourse with her, is expiation still required of him?" Imam (as) said: "No, the expiation is no longer required." I then asked: "If he begins fasting (as expiation) but becomes ill and breaks his fast, must he start over or continue from where he left off?" Imam (as) replied: "If he fasted for a month and then became ill, he must start over. But if he fasted more than a month by a day or two, he should continue from where he left off." Imam (as) also said
"The ruling for a free man and a slave is the same, except that a slave is obligated to fulfill half of what is required from a free man in terms of expiation."
4835 - وَ سَأَلَهُ جَمِيلُ بْنُ دَرَّاجٍ : عَنِ اَلظِّهَارِ مَتَى يَقَعُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ فِيهِ اَلْكَفَّارَةُ فَقَالَ
"إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهَا أَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ فَقَالَ "لاَ سَقَطَتِ اَلْكَفَّارَةُ عَنْهُ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ صَامَ فَمَرِضَ فَأَفْطَرَ أَ يَسْتَقْبِلُ أَوْ يُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ صَامَ شَهْراً ثُمَّ مَرِضَ اِسْتَقْبَلَ فَإِنْ زَادَ عَلَى اَلشَّهْرِ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ بَنَى عَلَيْهِ " قَالَ وَ قَالَ "اَلْحُرُّ وَ اَلْمَمْلُوكُ سَوَاءٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَلَى اَلْمَمْلُوكِ نِصْفَ مَا عَلَى اَلْحُرِّ مِنَ اَلْكَفَّارَةِ".
