The ruling on a man declaring his wife forbidden to himself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. A man said to his wife, "You are forbidden to me if you go to your brother's house." He asks about the ruling on this, especially if he retracts what he said and allows his wife to visit her brother?
Answer:
This is zihar (likening one's wife to a forbidden relative). He is required to pay the expiation for zihar, and he must not approach his wife until he pays the expiation for zihar. The expiation is freeing a believing slave. If he does not find one, he must fast for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he must feed sixty poor people. Declaring one's wife forbidden is zihar.
