The questioner:
When a person says, “Your speech is forbidden to me, and peace be upon you,” is this a binding oath?
The Shaykh:
Yes, forbidding what is lawful is an oath.[At-Tahrim 66:1] [The verse continues] until He says: [At-Tahrim 66:2] This is the expiation, so He called it an oath; He called forbidding what is lawful an oath.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If he forbids what is lawful, then this is an oath that requires expiation, unless the lawful thing is his wife, in which case forbidding her constitutes zihar.
When a person says, “Your speech is forbidden to me, and peace be upon you,” is this a binding oath?
The Shaykh:
Yes, forbidding what is lawful is an oath.
why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah
لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَبْتَغِي مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَاجِكَ وَاللَّهُAllah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths
قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمَانِكُمْThe questioner:
He says: Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If he forbids what is lawful, then this is an oath that requires expiation, unless the lawful thing is his wife, in which case forbidding her constitutes zihar.
