Does a husband's statement to his wife, "It is forbidden for me to go out with you on any visit after today," constitute an oath requiring expiation, knowing that he said it to her while angry?

We advise the questioner to fear Allah and avoid embarrassing expressions. The expression mentioned does not entail anything, because he did not forbid his wife, but rather forbade going out with her on visits. And forbidding what is permissible is void. However, if he intended to forbid his wife should the condition be met, then scholars have differed on what entails from that.
