Chapter on Zihar (Declaring One's Wife Unlawful Like a Mother)

515. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَمْلُوكِ أَ عَلَيْهِ ظِهَارٌ فَقَالَ "عَلَيْهِ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى اَلْحُرِّ مِنْ صَوْمِ شَهْرٍ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ وَ لاَ عِتْقٍ".

Muhammad ibn Humran asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about whether a slave is obligated to perform ẓihar (a form of divorce by comparison). Imam (a.s) replied: "He is required to fulfill half of what is required of a free man, which is fasting for one month. However, he is not obligated to offer expiation through charity or the freeing of a slave."
