Those who practice Zihar among you from their wives, such that the man among them says to his wife: "You are to me like the back of my mother" -meaning in the sanctity of the marriage- they have surely disobeyed Allah and opposed the Sharia, while their wives are not in reality their mothers, only they are their wives, their mothers are not but those who gave birth to them. And indeed those practicing Zihar surely say a lying terrifying word whose correctness is not recognized. And indeed Allah is surely Pardoning Forgiving from whom some of the oppositions issued from him, then he caught up with it through sincere repentance.
