Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If a husband has performed zihar with his wife and then he or the wife dies, inheritance will be established between both of them."

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever pronounces zihar on his wife and then approaches her before offering the expiation, he should seek forgiveness from Allah, not do it again, and give only one expiation."

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, Hasan, and Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on them) said: "There is no fixed time for zihar; when he gives the expiation, she is his wife."
