The ruling on one who forbids himself from entering a house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a caller, Abu Abd al-Rahman, from Riyadh. Go ahead, Abu Abd al-Rahman. Advice. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I have a question. I had a misunderstanding with a person, and then I forbade the house. I mean, you are now regretting it, right? I told him, “It is forbidden for me,” just like a mother forbids it, meaning I will never enter the house again. So I do not know what the ruling is?
Answer:
If you mean the house, this is the ruling of an oath. You must pay the expiation for an oath. You forbade yourself from entering the house; this is the expiation for an oath: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If you cannot find the means to do so, you fast for three days. However, if you meant your wife by the prohibition, this is considered zihar. Its expiation is freeing a slave. If you cannot find one, you fast for two consecutive months. If you are unable to do that, you feed sixty poor people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. May Allah reward you with good.
