The questioner:
He asks: Is the saying of the one who says "by the three" an oath by other than Allah?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Is the saying of the one who says "by the three" an oath by other than Allah?
The Shaykh:
An oath is made by Allah, and an oath is made by divorce, meaning that divorce is conditioned upon something one wants to prevent, or to urge, or to verify, or to deny. It is called an oath because it functions like an oath, not because it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as some ignorant people think. It is not shirk. This is not shirk. An oath by divorce is not shirk, because it is not a true oath, but rather a condition attached to something that implies prevention, urging, verification, or denial, just as an oath is used. Therefore, it is called an oath by way of analogy.
