Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, the questioner Ibrahim from Syria asks: If a wife says to her husband, “If you do this, you are forbidden to me, like my father is forbidden to me,” or she curses him, what is the ruling on a wife saying such a thing? Is this considered zihar?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible, and it is a type of oath. She owes an expiation for the oath, according to the stronger opinion. The expiation for the oath is freeing a slave, or feeding ten poor people, or clothing ten poor people. If she cannot do that, she must fast for three days.
