8. FORSWEARING ONE’S WIFE MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS
(In Sacred Law, forswearing means that the husband swears he will not have sexual intercourse with his wife, either for an unrestricted period or for more than four months.)
Forswearing one’s wife is unlawful. It consists in the husband swearing an oath by Allah that for more than four months (more than four months including oaths in which no time period is stipulated) he will not have sexual intercourse with his wife, or swears that if he does, then he is obliged to divorce her, fast, pray, or something else.
A husband is not considered to have forsworn his wife (in the above unlawful sense) when he forswears sexual intercourse for four months or less, or when he is impotent.
