Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the difference between boycotting a person and an oath to abstain from one's wife?

Answer:
One may take an oath to abstain from one's wife without boycotting her.
Boycotting a person means ceasing to speak to them entirely, or ceasing to have intercourse with them. Boycotting a person is different.
As for an oath to abstain from one's wife, one may take such an oath while still speaking to her, but he takes the oath regarding intercourse, meaning he does not have intercourse with her. He may spend the night with her and speak to her, but he does not have intercourse with her.
