Meaning: [Surat al-Baqarah: 226] It means that if a man swears an oath not to have intercourse with his wife, he is given a period of four months. Then, either he has intercourse with her, or he divorces her. However, he may discipline her for one month, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
The questioner: But does he commit a sin for three months or four?The Shaykh: As long as it is for the purpose of discipline, there is nothing wrong with it. But four months or more, no.
