Al Baqarah

HR Background

لِلَّذِیْنَ یُؤْلُوْنَ مِنْ نِّسَآىٕهِمْ تَرَبُّصُ اَرْبَعَةِ اَشْهُرٍۚ-فَاِنْ فَآءُوْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(226)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And those who take an oath that they will not have intercourse with their wives, they have four months of respite; so if they return within this time, then Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.[1]

Commentary

[1]

This is called Ila, i.e., a husband takes an oath that he will never engage in sexual intercourse with his wife or not do so for four months; if he breaks the oath (has intercourse) within four months, expiation becomes necessary (and they will remain together), otherwise, after four months have passed, the woman would be divorced according to the shariah.
