Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who says: My wife is forbidden to me?
Answer:
The ruling for this is the ruling of zihar. If a man says, “My wife is forbidden to me,” or “She is forbidden to me, my wife,” or “Allah has forbidden her to me, my wife,” or “She is like the back of my mother,” or “like the back of my sister,” or “like my sister,” or “like my mother,” intending to forbid her, then it is zihar. It is called zihar. He must pay the expiation for zihar before he touches her. The expiation is freeing a believing slave. If he is unable to do so, he must fast for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do that, he must feed sixty poor people, thirty sa’ (a dry measure of about 3 kg), with each sa’ shared between two people, before he touches her. Yes.
