The questioner : What is the legal ruling on a man who divorced his wife with three divorces in a single oath, and this was in a state of extreme anger, when he said to her, "Be forbidden to me like my mother," and this was in his father-in-law's house, while the wife was in her husband's house and did not hear the oath? Does this result in a divorce, or zihar, or what?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
As for what follows, before answering the question, we advise our Muslim brothers regarding such forbidden expressions "Be forbidden to me like the back of my mother" This is what Allah mentioned as an ugly word and a lie. He said, the Exalted: And on this basis, it is not permissible for this man to approach his wife unless he does what Allah commanded him in His saying: So, O my brother, you must repent to Allah the Exalted from this ugliness and lie that you said, and you must not approach your wife with intercourse or its preliminaries until you do what Allah commanded you to do. As for the divorce, the divorce does not take effect with this, because it is explicit zihar that does not admit of figurative interpretation. Yes.
