She said to her husband: “You are to me like my father”

If a Muslim declares
something to be haraam for himself that Allaah has permitted, this comes
under the same ruling as an oath (yameen). 

The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which
Allaah has allowed to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allaah is
Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful.

2. Allaah has already
ordained for you (O men) the absolution from your oaths. And Allaah is your
Mawlaa (Lord, or Master, or Protector) and He is the All‑Knower, the
All‑Wise”

[al-Tahreem 66:1-2]

Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his
Tafseer (p. 1035): 

This is a rebuke from Allaah to His Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), when he declared that his
concubine Maryah and drinks of honey were forbidden to him, in order to
please some of his wives, as narrated in the well-known story, whereupon
Allaah revealed these verses.  

The fact that he forbade these things to himself led to the
revelation of a general ruling which applies to the entire ummah. Allaah
said: “Allaah has already ordained for you (O men) the absolution from
your oaths”. This is general and applies to all oaths sworn by the
believers. 

Everyone who declares that something permissible is forbidden
to him, such as food, drink or concubines, or swears an oath by Allaah that
he will do something or nor do something, then breaks that oath or wants to
break it, has to offer the expiation mentioned. 

You have to offer kafaarat yameen for your declaring that
your husband is forbidden to you like your father. This expiation means
feeding ten poor persons, giving each one a kilo and a half of staple food,
or clothing them, giving a garment to each one, or freeing a believing
slave. If you cannot do any of these three things, then you have to fast for
three days. Your husband is not forbidden to you. And you have to repent to
Allaah from that, because it is not permissible for a Muslim to forbid to
himself something that has been permitted by Allaah.
