Fatwa number ( 133 )
Q: We inform you that a man aged twenty, married a girl aged twelve. When a dispute arose between them, he said to her: "I will have intercourse with your mother and not with you," without any intention. We ask you to inform us about this.
A: If a husband says to his wife when a dispute arises between them that he will have intercourse with her mother and not with her, without any intention, this is considered zihar. It is an abomination of speech and a lie. It is forbidden for a Muslim to utter it, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mujadila 58:2] And if he wishes to return to his wife, it is obligatory for him to make expiation
before touching her by freeing a believing slave. If he does not find one, then fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, then feeding sixty poor people; based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mujadila 58:3-4] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Those who pronounce thihar among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.
الَّذِينَ يُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ مَا هُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ إِنْ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ إِلا اللائِي وَلَدْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنْكَرًا مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَزُورًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌbefore touching her by freeing a believing slave. If he does not find one, then fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, then feeding sixty poor people; based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(3) And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (4) And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons.
وَالَّذِينَ يُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا ذَلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ (3) فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا
