The first question of fatwa number ( 6135 )
Q1: They say: If a man says to his wife, “If you do such-and-such, you are forbidden to me,” and then she does it, is she forbidden or not? Is it permissible for him to take her back or not?
A1: First: If he intended by his statement, “If you do such-and-such, you are forbidden to me,” to prevent his wife from the act, and then she did it, it is an oath, and its expiation is the expiation of an oath, which is: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If he finds no means, he fasts for three days. Second: If he intended by this statement to forbid his wife and liken her to those who are forbidden, such as his mother or sister, it is zihar, and its expiation is freeing a believing slave. If he finds no means, he fasts for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he feeds sixty poor people, and this is before he touches his wife from whom he has pronounced zihar.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
