The ruling on a divorce oath made against a daughter by forbidding her from visiting a relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a moment of anger, I swore to divorce my daughter, forbidding her from going to the house of one of our female relatives. She carried out my order with complete precision, but I regretted it. After a long period of time, I wanted to change my mind and allow her to go to that house. Does the divorce take effect in this case?

Answer:
If you intended a specific period during which she would not go, then the oath is limited to the period you intended, and the oath is dissolved after that. However, if you did not specify a period and only wanted to forbid her from going absolutely and permanently, then you should ask the judge in the court. Go to the judge and ask him. If you intended to forbid her and divorced her, saying she would not go permanently, go to the judge and ask him, or come for a fatwa in Ta'if, and that would be better, if Allah wills. Yes.
