Question:
His other question says: If there is no cohabitation between me and my wife, does that fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:
either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatmentفَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:229]
?

Answer:
Yes, if there is no cohabitation in a good manner, and the relationship between them has become bad, and reconciliation between you two has become impossible, then do not keep her at that time
either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatmentفَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:229]
