Prohibiting One's Wife with Specific Wording in a State of Anger

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Khalid from al-Hisr al-Batin says: A dispute occurred between me and my cousin, and in a state of anger, I divorced and prohibited [my wife], saying that I would not enter his house, and I said, "My wife is forbidden to me just as my mother is forbidden to me." What is the ruling on this? Please note that the house is not solely his property, but belongs to him and his brothers. Also, is my wife permitted to enter this house without me being with her?

Answer:
Matters of prohibition and matters of prohibiting a wife and divorce: these are referred to the Shari'ah court, or to the Ifta' office in Riyadh. You should go to the Ifta' office in Riyadh, or go to the nearest court to examine what you said and what came from you. However, we observe that you delayed in asking and sending this to the radio. This is a matter concerning your wife and your marital bed. Do you remain with your wife and in your marital bed while you do not know what consequences follow from these words?
This is negligence, my brother. It is obligatory for one who has encountered any of these matters to hasten to go to the judge or to the Ifta' office and learn the Shari'ah ruling on it. Yes.
