Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am extremely anxious as I wasn’t aware of this notion of Zihar by any means. I am a woman and I was sitting in Itikaf. Just as a means of clarifying or explaining to my husband how not to treat me\/what to expect of me these days like not touching me without the need (not having sexual intercourse was not implied here at all or meant as that was clearly understood and obvious beforehand, just as it is obvious in the case mensuration). I don’t remember the exact words which I uttered out of ignorance (I wasn’t aware of the insensitive issue of Zihar) but what I meant was ‘right now I am like your any other mahram take me as your wife of course I said, but you should treat me ‘right now like you would treat them, in other words, don’t touch me without any need in order to maintain the sanctity of Itikaf. The intention of using the analogy was to explain\/guide him on how to act in this particular situation and not to imply that I am not his wife these days. Does the situation fall under Zihar?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am scared to the core. I came across this concept while studying some fiqhi masail in Itikaf. Please respond ASAP please! I am on the verge of crying! I can assure you there was no implication of sexual intercourse by any means (for that was 110% understood like in the case of periods), and the words were said without any aim or purpose except as a way of explaining that he should not touch me, cuddle me in Itikaf but he can sit with me, eat with me, yet maintain a distance like one maintains from other mahrams. Does Zihar apply to women?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 says in the Noble Qur\u2019an; Those who declare Zih\u0101r against their wives, then retract what they said, obligated on them is to free the neck (of a slave) before the two (spouses) touch one another. This is what you are advised, and Allah is well aware of what you do. [Surah al Muj\u0101dilah; 58:3] [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, it has come in Al-Hid\u0101yah, that when a man says to his wife, \u201cyou are for me like the back of my mother\u201d (this was a common saying among the Arabs pre-Islam) then she becomes Haraam on him. He is not permitted to be intimate with her, touch her or kiss her until an expiation is done for the Zih\u0101r. The expiation is as explained in the verse above.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the pre-Islamic era, Zih\u0101r was used in place of Tal\u0101q (i.e., giving divorce). Shariah kept the principle of the ruling but changed the outcome to a temporary prohibition with a means of expiation rather than ending a marriage. [Al-Hid\u0101yah; Volume 2, page 419] [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From there, we understand that Zih\u0101r is something which can only be done by the husband and not the wife. So, you would not be able to do Zih\u0101r on your husband.<\/span><\/p>\n
