Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the phrase “It is haram upon me” a case of ila’ or a case of zihar?
Answer:
“Haram” is absolute; he must clarify his intention. What is haram? Is it his wife, food, or clothing? He must clarify. If he does not intend it, or does not hold the intention in his mind, he owes the expiation for an oath. Yes.
