My wife is forbidden to me until the Day of Judgment
A husband said to his wife: You are divorced, so the wife went to her parents' house. After a week, the husband went to his wife's parents' house to discuss the problem, and the wife said something that angered him. He left their house and said: She is forbidden to me until the Day of Judgment. After a week, he took her back. Does his statement: She is forbidden to me count as a second divorce or what?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If it was intended as divorce, then it is a divorce. If it was intended as prohibition, then he must offer a expiation for the oath. They should consult the mufti to clarify the details of the issue, and God knows best.
