[Machine] My mother was breastfeeding a baby, and the baby died. So my father swore not to approach her until the baby was weaned. After four months, someone told him that it was over for him, so he came to Ali and informed him. Ali said, "If you swore an oath concerning harm, then she is your wife. Otherwise, it is over for you." Shu'bah narrated this from Simak ibn Harb. Al-Shafi'i also said in the past, "And whoever says this statement should say likewise if there is a reason that sexual intercourse with her is harmful to her or if he starts with his right hand, as her state is not linked to harm. Therefore, it is not considered an oath. And for this statement, there is a good argument. Allah knows best." Others said, "He is a muwli and every oath that prohibits sexual intercourse is considered an oath. So, it is considered an oath. And there is evidence for this in the recent case, and he argued that Allah has revealed the absolute prohibition without mentioning anger or satisfaction. Allah knows best."
