Zihar or Dhihar (Arabic: ظھار) (Arabic pronunciation: [ðˤihaːr]; Ẓihār): /ˈziːˈhɜːr/; ZEE-hu-Er；is a term used in Islamic jurisprudence, which literally connotes an admonition by Allah to the believers. During pre-Islamic Arabia, Dhihar, was a practice in which a man referred to his wife as his mother or by uttering that, “you are, to me, like my mother”. [1][2][3] This constitutes a form of revocable divorce (although it is invalid). If a husband says these words to his wife, it is highly unlawful for him to have sexual intercourse with her unless he makes recompense by freeing a slave, fasting for two successive months, or feeding sixty poor people.[4]
