Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have a call. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : I am asking you, may Allah reward you, about the word "divorce" used in oaths, because it is widespread among many of us. I do not know what the ruling is on it, and whether there is an expiation for it or not?
The Shaykh : And what happened, may Allah bless you?
The questioner : I mean, I hear many of the brothers, and many of the people in our desert area, when they swear an oath, they say, "Let the divorce be upon me."
The Shaykh : Advise him, advise him not to intend divorce.
The questioner : What is its ruling, then?
The Shaykh : I have informed you of its ruling if it occurs. If nothing happened, praise be to Allah. But as for what you hear, advise them. And whoever is swearing an oath, let him swear by Allah and remain silent.
