Analytical Study of the Ilaa in the Light of Tafsir al-Aklil Fi Istinbat al-Tanzil
Abstract
Islamic jurisprudence has given much attention to family law and marital issues. One of fiqhī matter related to family life is "Ilā". When a person swears an oath to abstain from marital relations or imposes a significant penalty upon himself about his wife it is called Ilā. In this research article Ilā has been discussed and addressed. In the pre-Islamic era, a practice known as "Ilā" was prevalent, where a man would make an oath to abstain from marital relations with his wife and leave her in a state of suspension. During this period, he wouldn't treat her as a wife but also wouldn't divorce her to set her free, allowing her to go wherever she pleased. Islam introduced a significant modification to this pre-Islamic tradition. It mandated that in such cases, the husband must revoke his oath within four months, otherwise his wife would be granted an irrevocable divorce. If the husband revoked his oath, he would be required to fulfill an expiation, which could be feeding ten needy individuals, clothing them, or emancipating a slave. If he couldn't do any of these, he had to have fast for three days.
