A man saying to his wife: “You are forbidden to me,” with the intention of zihar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man says to his wife, “You are forbidden to me,” and his intention is zihar, is it zihar or is it an oath?

Answer:
It is an oath that requires expiation. Zihar is when he says, “You are to me like the back of my mother.” Yes.
