Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A problem arose between me and my wife, and she said to me, “I will not sit in the house until you swear an oath to me on the Qur’an with divorce.” So I swore to her on the Qur’an and said to her, “You are divorced twice if you repeat the course of the problem.” I did not intend divorce; rather, my intention was so that she would not leave the house. After a while, a dispute arose between me and her, and she said to me, “Go and insult him severely.” In my anger, I lost my mind and said to her, “Go and insult her severely.” My intention was to anger her, not to complete the problem.
Answer:
Matters of divorce cannot be answered right now. So the questioner should go to the Shari’ah court, or write his question and send it to the head of the Department of Islamic Research and Ifta, the head of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, and include his address, and the answer will come to him, if Allah wills. Or he can go himself to the Ifta office in Ta’if, and it will be good for us and for him, if Allah wills.
