The ruling on a conditional divorce based on describing a sheep as a one-year-old
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am a man who tends sheep. I took a sheep to the butcher, and I knew it was a one-year-old, but the butcher said it was a two-year-old. So I said, "If it is a one-year-old, my wife is divorced." Then he admitted it was a one-year-old. Does the divorce take effect?
Answer:
If you were truthful that it was a one-year-old, the divorce does not take effect. If you were truthful that it was a one-year-old, or if you were convinced in your mind that it was a one-year-old, there is no blame on you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
