Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Ibrahim from Syria. If a wife says to her husband, “If you do this, you are forbidden to me, like my father is forbidden to me,” or she curses him, what is the ruling on a wife saying such a thing, and is this called zihar?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible. It is an oath of faith, so she owes the expiation for an oath, according to the stronger opinion. She owes the expiation for an oath, which is freeing a slave, or feeding ten poor people, or clothing ten poor people. If she cannot find the means to do so, she fasts for three days. Yes.
