Saying: "You are forbidden to me"
Question: A serious disagreement occurred between my father and my mother at the beginning of their married life,So my father said to her: and he said to her, "You are forbidden to me." At that time, he did not know that this was an oath or zihar, so he has not paid the expiation to this day, even though he has reached the age of ninety. My mother passed away several years ago. What must my father do now?
Answer: If he said to her, "You are forbidden to me," and he intended zihar, and he returned to her and had intercourse with her afterward, then it is obligatory for him to pay the expiation for zihar, which is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, then fasting two consecutive months. If he is unable to fast, then feeding sixty poor people, in this order.
And if a husband says to his wife: "You are forbidden to me." The scholars have differed on the ruling of this. The majority hold that this is treated like an oath, and the expiation for an oath applies to it. Some of them held that this is zihar, and that the expiation for zihar applies to him. In any case, the most cautious course is to pay the expiation for zihar, as we mentioned, in order: freeing a slave. If he does not find one, then fasting two consecutive months. If he is unable, then feeding sixty
poor people. This is the most cautious course, and it is what a group of scholars have said.
Question: Even if he did not intend zihar?
Answer: The phrase "You are forbidden to me,"They say: is one of the expressions of zihar according to this opinion.
