A man who says to his wife: you are a hardship to me

Nu'aym bin Dajajah (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a man gave his wife two divorces and then said, "You are haraj (forbidden) to me," (what is the ruling)? He said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It is not the lightest of them."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: If a man says to his wife, "You are haraj (forbidden) to me," it is equivalent to three divorces.

Qatadah said: That was the view of al-Hasan, and he used to give fatwa according to it.

Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are haraj (forbidden) to me," it is equivalent to three divorces.

Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are haraj (forbidden) to me," his intention is what counts in it.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are haraj (forbidden) to me," it is equivalent to three divorces.

He (Qatadah) said: Al-Hasan said the same.
