وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا

قَالَ: «إِذَا حَرَّمَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ». وَقَالَ: ﴿ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ﴾ اَلْأَحْزَاب:

“If anyone makes his wife unlawful for himself – it is nothing.” He said, “Indeed you have a good example in the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).”.

What it means

This report means that if a man says to his wife: "You are unlawful for me," or: "You are forbidden," or something similar, this saying does not constitute divorce. It will be treated like a normal oath for which an expiation is required.

In this respect, Allah, the Almighty, says: {O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise} [Sūrat At-Tahrīm: 1-2].

The last verse means that Allah ordained for the Muslims the dissolution of their oath by making the expiation that is stipulated in Sūrat al-Mā’idah.
