Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man swore by saying, “I am divorcing, I will not speak to so-and-so.” Then he regretted it and went back and spoke to him. What is required of him? And what is the advice for one who frequently does this, or keeps divorce on his tongue in oaths and threats?
Answer:
First, we have nothing to offer but advice. We say: Guard your tongue from divorce. Do not utter divorce, whether in earnest or in jest, whether swearing an oath or not. Guard your tongue. As for if something happens to him, this requires that he return to the court or come for a fatwa, present his question, and have his case studied and answered. Yes.
