The Ruling on Divorce Conditioned on Paying the Amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a young married man. I went with a group of my friends to Jeddah, and when we stopped at one of the stations, I said I would not move until they all paid the fare. They all paid except for one, and another person paid for him. What is his obligation?
The Shaykh:
Divorce.
The questioner:
Divorce until they pay for their sin.
The Shaykh:
Divorce is cheap for him, or his wife is cheap to him. This is not permissible: uttering divorce and using divorce in place of an oath. This is not permissible because of the danger it entails. As for what has occurred, if his intention was only to collect the amount, and one of them paid for the other, and the amount was collected, then if his intention was only to collect the amount, he owes nothing because the intended result was achieved. However, if his intention was that each specific person pay, and some of them did not pay, then the divorce takes effect on him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
