(MF, TA.) One says, فَاءَ مِنْ

فَاءَ المُوءْلِى (M, Msb, K) مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ, (M, K,) verbal noun فَىْءٌ, (TA,) or
فَيْيءَةٌ, (Msb,) means The man who had sworn to abstain from conjugal intercourse with his wife expiated his oath and returned to her. (M, Msb, * K. [See Qur'an, 2:226.]) But MF observes that this usage of فَاءَ to signify He expiated an oath belongs to the conventional language of the law. (TA.) 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 Qur'an; and if he have such intercourse with her in the four months, it is said of him, قَدْ فَاءَ, 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. (T, TA.) And [hence] one says
لَهُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَيْيءَةٌ
He has the right of returning to his wife: (Msb, TA:) and هُوَ يَمْلِكُ
فَيْيءَتَهَا
He possesses the right of returning to her; namely, a wife whom he has divorced. (A, TA.)
