The Prohibition of a Husband on His Wife by Sending Her a Message

Question
What is the ruling on a husband prohibiting his wife on himself through a message on WhatsApp?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If he sent her a WhatsApp message saying: "You are forbidden to me," he must perform the expiation for an oath if he wants to approach his wife after that, and God knows best.
