1. If a slave pronounces Zhihar on his wife, his only recourse to Kaffarah is fasting, because he does not own anything. Even if his owner frees a slave on his behalf, or feeds 60 poor on his behalf then it will not validate as his Kaffarah.
2. A man is liable for two Kaffahs of Zhihar. He set two slaves free but did make a specific intention which is for which. Both his Kaffarahs are fulfilled.
3. Similarly if he is liable for two Kaffarah and he fasted 4 months or fed 120 poor, and did not specify, then both Kaffarah are fulfilled.
4. If he only freed one slave for two Kaffarah, or only fasted 2 months, he may apply that as Kaffarah for whichever one he wishes.
