What are the consequences for a husband if he swore to his wife that if she tried on clothes in clothing stores, she would not enter his house, and he now wishes to retract this oath?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the husband swore by Allah to his wife that she would not enter his house if she did a certain thing, and then he wished to retract, he must offer expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat yamin). However, if it was merely a statement that she would not enter the house, without swearing by Allah or by divorce, then neither divorce nor expiation is incurred.
