Is there an expiation, fasting, or other obligation required of me for saying that it is forbidden for me to meet my husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 5573 )
Q: I am a married woman, and a minor misunderstanding occurred between me and my husband. At the same time, he transgressed against me by hitting me. After that, I went to my family and have been with them for a period of more than a year. When the Muslims sought to reconcile us, I declared it forbidden for me to meet my husband. Recently, his children from his previous wife (who has passed away) came to me, appeased me, and fulfilled all my demands. I then agreed to return to my husband. His children conditioned that they bring me a fatwa that I, as his wife, read myself, and then the return to my husband's home will take place. My question is: Is there an expiation, fasting, or other obligation required of me for saying: "It is forbidden for me to meet my husband"? This is my question.
A: If the situation is as described, seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him for what came from you regarding declaring your husband forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:87] And return to your husband and feed ten poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' of wheat, rice, or similar staple food, or clothe each of them with a garment.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.

O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you
