But MF observes that this usage of فَآءَ to signify He expiated an oath belongs to the conventional language of the law. In the case of a man who has sworn that he will abstain from conjugal intercourse with his wife, a period of four months is appointed to him in the Kur-án; and if he have such intercourse with her in the four months, it is said of him, قَدْ فَآءَ, meaning He has returned [or reverted] from his oath, to the doing that which he swore that he would not do, and is bound to expiate his oath: if he have not had such intercourse with her until the end of the four months from the day of his swearing, then, Ibn-'Abbás and a number of the Companions pass upon her a single sentence of divorce, making the [said sentence of] divorce to have effect at the end of the months; but many of the Companions and others say that in this case he must return, and expiate his oath, or he must divorce. And [hence] one says لَهُ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَتِهِ فَيْئَةٌ He has the right of returning to his wife: and هُوَ يَمْلِكُ He possesses the right of returning to her; namely, a wife whom he has divorced.
