And those who forbid their wives upon themselves by the Zihar from them, then they return from their word and resolve upon the intercourse of their wives, then upon the husband practicing Zihar-and the state being such-is an expiation of the prohibition, and it is the freeing of a believing neck slave or slave girl before he has intercourse with his wife whom he practiced Zihar from her, that is the judgment of Allah regarding who practiced Zihar from his wife you being exhorted by it, O you believers; so that you do not fall into the Zihar and the saying of falsehood, and you expiate if you fell into it, and so that you do not return to it, while Allah does not have anything hidden from Him of your deeds, and He is your Recompenser upon them.
