Chapter on Oath of Abstinence (Ila)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 17
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ آلَى مِنِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ، فَمَرَّتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ "يُوقَفُ فَإِنْ عَزَمَ اَلطَّلاَقَ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةُ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ وَ إِلاَّ كَفَّرَ يَمِينَهُ وَ أَمْسَكَهَا".
In the narration of Aban ibn Uthman from Mansur, he said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who swears an oath (ilaʾ) against his wife, and four months pass. Imam عليه السلام said: "He is to be brought forward. If he decides on divorce, she is separated from him, and she must observe the waiting period (iddah) of a divorced woman. But if he does not divorce her, he must offer expiation for his oath and continue the marriage."
