The ruling on one who forbids something for himself and then returns to it

Question:
The first message in this episode is from one of the sisters who used the initials (S. A.) to represent her name. She says: A woman said to another woman after a quarrel between them: “It is forbidden for me to call you on the phone from today on.” Then she apologized to her and called her on the phone. What is required of her? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to forbid what Allah has made lawful for him. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Surah al-Tahrim: 1]. So a Muslim does not have the right to forbid what Allah has made lawful for him. But when that happens, as this woman did when she said it is forbidden for her to speak to her on the phone, whenever she speaks to her, she owes the expiation for an oath. Its ruling is the ruling of an oath. For this reason, Allah, the Exalted, after He rebuked His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for forbidding what Allah had made lawful, said: [Surah al-Tahrim: 2]. This indicates that its ruling is the ruling of an oath. So if a man says: “It is forbidden for me to speak to so-and-so,” or “It is forbidden for me to visit so-and-so,” or “It is forbidden for me to eat so-and-so’s food,”
or if a woman says the same: “It is forbidden for me to speak to so-and-so,” or “so-and-so,” or “It is forbidden for me to visit so-and-so,” or “so-and-so,” she owes the expiation for an oath. It is feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Whoever is unable to do all of this owes the expiation for an oath, as Allah clarified in His great Book in Surah al-Ma'idah. The feeding is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each person, which is one and a half kilograms of dates for each person, or other staple food of the country, such as rice, wheat, or the like. Or he clothes them, giving each one a shirt, or an izar (lower garment) and a rida' (upper garment). Or he frees a male or female slave. Whoever is unable to do this fasts for three days. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
