The vow of abstinence (ila') by saying: "I will not have intercourse with you until you drop your debt"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Ila' is a husband's oath to abstain from intercourse with his wife for a period exceeding four months. How is it that a man who says to his wife, "I will not have intercourse with you until you drop your debt or give me your money," is committing ila'?

Answer:
Yes, because this means he is forcing her to abandon her religion or to do something that harms her, which constitutes ila'. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
