A man swore to his wife with divorce; is it permissible for him to take back this oath?

Question : A man says to his wife, meaning he swore to her with divorce, and her mother has not entered his house, yes. And up to now she has not entered. Is it permissible for him to take back this oath?

Answer : If we say that the ruling of this is the ruling of an oath, then the matter is easy. He expiates the oath by freeing a slave, or feeding ten poor people, or clothing them. If he cannot find the means, he fasts for three days. So solving this problem is easy if we say that its ruling is the ruling of an oath. And this is the stronger position. But if we say it is a divorce, as is the opinion of the majority of scholars, then if she entered, she is divorced, and it is not possible for him to take her back, yes.
