What is the ruling on a husband being absent from his wife for a full year, and what is her obligation if she swore an oath that he would not touch her?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Umm Hayat from Riyadh, please go ahead, my sister Umm Hayat. Hello, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. If you please, I have a question for you, O... Please, is the question brief? I mean, hmm? My life with my husband is normal at home; there is no lack of marital intimacy. He is absent from me for a full year and then returns, and this happens a second time, and this matter has repeated more than three times. I swore an oath over him and told him: if it happens again, do not touch me. Now he has repeated it a second time, for the fourth time, and now it has been two years for me, and I have completely prevented him from... Well, regarding the marital life with her husband, Honorable Shaykh, the sister Umm Hayat says: her husband is absent for a full year, and she swore that if it repeats, he will not touch her, and it did repeat on his part. Tell us about the marital life in that case?

The Shaykh:
As for the husband being absent from his wife for a full year, this requires investigation; there is a distinction here. If he is unable to be present, he is excused. But if he is able to be present, it is not permissible for him to be absent from her for more than six months. As for the aspect of what?

The questioner:
She says she swore that if it repeats on his part, he will not touch her.

The Shaykh:
Regarding the oath she swore, she must expiate for it, and there is no harm in her husband touching her, caressing her, or having marital relations with her. Yes.
