The Ruling on Zihar by the Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman says: She told her husband, and I heard her say this without intending to return to him, “I am like my sister to you.” Then she returned to him. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter? And is there a sin on her for saying this?
Answer:
If a woman commits zihar from her husband, the correct opinion among the scholars is that she must pay an expiation: feeding ten poor people, clothing them, or freeing a slave. If she cannot find the means to do so, she must fast for three days.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
