The answer

Sodomy is one of the grave sins and immoralities. The perpetrator must hasten to repent, which involves abstaining from the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, while concealing their own wrongdoing. The wife's statement that she is forbidden to him if he commits this immorality does not affect the marital bond or the lineage of the daughter. Regarding his breaking of the oath not to return to it: if his oath was by Allah, then he must offer expiation for breaking an oath. If it was by divorce, then the preponderant opinion among us is that the divorce takes place. If it was by declaring something forbidden (), then it depends on his intention.
