Hazrat Ata says that when the one who performs zihar is absolved, he will not give expiation; the same is narrated from Hazrat Dhahhak.

13041 - Al-Dhahhak said: And this is what we say.

Hazrat Aslam narrates that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib: A woman swore that she would not drink the milk of her husband's goat, but then she drank it. He replied: There is nothing (no expiation) upon her; oaths do not apply to eating and drinking.

It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab that a man had some goats and he swore that he would not drink their milk. When his wife saw this, she also swore that she would not drink their milk. As a result, the goats dried up and were ruined. Then he went to Hazrat Abdullah and mentioned this to him. He said, "This is from Satan. Both of you should return to that which is best for you both, and then drink its milk."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid that there was a guest at the house of a man from the Ansar. His family delayed, so the Ansari asked, "Have you given my guest dinner?" They said, "No." The Ansari said, "Then by Allah, I will not eat your food tonight either." His wife said, "Then I will not eat either." The guest said, "By Allah, I will not eat either." The Ansari said, "Shall my guest spend the night without eating! Bring the food," then he ate with them. In the morning, he went and informed the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the whole incident. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You obeyed Allah and disobeyed Satan."

Hazrat Ikrimah says that I have never given a fatwa based on my own opinion except in one case when a woman asked that she had made a vow to perform tawaf on four pillars. I told her: Perform seven tawafs at each pillar.

Hazrat Ata was asked about a woman who swore to free her slave-girl if she did not speak to her neighbor for four years. Then her slave-girl died, and the woman wished to speak to her neighbor. Hazrat Ata said: She should speak and give something in charity. Hazrat Abi Malika said: In my opinion, her oath is not broken.

13047 - Ibn Abi Mulayka said: I do not see that there is any sin upon her.

Hazrat Aamir says that if a person says, "May Allah put me in the fire," then he will have to offer expiation.

Hazrat Tawus and Hazrat Hakam state that he will give the expiation.
