19704 - Ibn ‘Awn said: So I said to Muhammad,“Indeed, ‘Amir says: He may propose to her during her ‘iddah, and no one else may propose to her.”He said:“‘Amir has spoken the truth.”

Hazrat Masrooq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when four months have passed, one irrevocable divorce will take place, and during her waiting period, only her husband can send her a marriage proposal, no one else can.

Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if the husband of a woman who has undergone ila wishes to marry her, there is no need for her to observe the waiting period (‘iddah), but if someone else wishes to marry her, she must observe the waiting period of three menstrual cycles.

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say that a woman who has been given three divorces and is pregnant, and a woman who has been subjected to ila’ and is pregnant, then maintenance (nafaqah) will be obligatory for her.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a woman who has been given three divorces, or has been subjected to ila’, or has taken khul‘, or has undergone li‘an, if all of them are pregnant, then their maintenance is obligatory upon the husband. However, if the woman who has taken khul‘ has agreed not to take maintenance, then maintenance is not obligatory.

Hazrat Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a man marries a woman and then the woman's family troubles the man, so he swears that he will not have intercourse with his wife, then this is not Ilaa, because Ilaa takes place after consummation.

Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a man makes an oath of Ila before intercourse, then this is not considered Ila. He was asked, what is the ruling if he is able to have intercourse but does not do so? He replied that even if he is able to have intercourse but does not do so, the ruling remains the same.

Hazrat Abu Hashim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a man says about his wife, "By Allah, I will not have intercourse with my wife in this house," and then does not go near her for four months, then this is Ilaa. Whereas Hazrat Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this is not Ilaa.

19712 - And Hammad said: This is not an oath of abstention (ila’).

Hazrat Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) married a woman. People demanded an increase in the dowry, so Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) swore that he would neither increase the dowry nor have marital relations with the woman. Then he left her like this for two years. Later, when people requested him, he had a lawful meeting with his wife and did not consider it as Ila (an oath of abstention). Hazrat Waki’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this was also the view of Hazrat Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him), and this is our opinion as well.
