Fatwa number ( 12382 )
Q: InIn a moment of anger, I said to my wife: If you go to your neighbor, you will be forbidden to me. This situation continued for a long time, and she did not go to her. However, due to the difficult circumstances of her neighbor, such as illness or something similar, which required visiting her, I allowed my wife to go to heron the condition that I would perform the expiation for this oath afterwards. According to my understanding, this is not considered an oath. In any case, I ask you, may Allah reward you with good, to inform me about the expiation for this. May Allah make you a storehouse for Islam and Muslims, and may He guide
God's guidance for your steps.
A: If your intention behind the prohibition mentioned in the question was to divorce your wife, then a divorce takes effect by her going to her neighbor, and you may take her back during the waiting period if this is not the third divorce. If your intention behind the prohibition was to prevent her from going to her neighbor and you did not intend divorce, and then she went, then your prohibition is ruled as an oath, so you must expiate it with the expiation of an oath, which is: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a believing slave. If you cannot find the means to do so, then fast for three days. In this case, no divorce takes effect on your wife. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
