Primary text
The declaration of Zihar made by a person under compulsion is invalid. This position is held by Al-Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, and Ibn al-Mundhir. This ruling is based upon the established scholarly disagreement regarding the validity of divorce issued under compulsion, as the ruling for Zihar follows the ruling for divorce.
