break my Saum (fast) ." Thethird said, "I wil l
keep away from thewomen and wil l not
many forever." Al l ah's Messenger 4& came
to them and said, "Areyou thesamepeopl e
who said so-and-so? By Al l ah, I am more

And Anas said, " 'Al so (prohibited are)
thewomen al ready married,' means those

The Statement of Allah L.:
"And for those who accuse their wives.. (up

(V.24:6-9)
If a dumb man accuses his wife(of an
il l egal sexual intercourse) by means of
writing, pointing or giving a famil iar nod,
then heis l iketheonewho can speak, for the
Prophethas permitted theuseof gestures
in performing theorders prescribed by Al l ah.
Thatis thesaying of somepeopl eof Il ijaz
and somel earned men.
And Al l ah jl . said:
"Then she(Mary) pointed to him (Jesus).
They said, 'How can wetal k to onewho is a

And Ad-Dahhak said: 114Ramza'means
'onl y with signal s'.
Someschol ars said: Neither a l egal
prescribed punishment, nor Li'n (are
permissibl eto becarried outthrough

expresses his decision to divorcehis wifeby
means of writing, pointing or nodding, itis
permissibl e. Butthereis no difference
between divorcing and accusing. If that

accusation areinval id. Thesameis true
aboutthemanumission of sl aves. A deaf
person is permitted to do Li'an.
Ash-Sha'bi and Qatada said If omeone
says, "You aredivorced," and pointwith his
fingers, his gestureis enough to briiig about
thedivorce.
Ibrhim said: If a dumb person writes a
divorcewith his hand, itbecomes val id.
And Hamad said: If a dumb o a deaf
person gives a nod (to indicatesomehing), it
is sufficient.
Al l ah's Messenger said, "Shal l I tel l you of
