The ruling on one who swore to his wife that she should not go to her sister's house: Is it permissible for her to go if the house has changed?

The questioner : I say, may you live long, I have a question. Once, may you live long, I was in my own house and I was in my own domain, do you hear me, O Shaykh? Yes, I hear you. I say, and I was in my own house, a discussion occurred between me and my brother-in-law, and then I said to my wife, "If you enter your sister's house, you are not under my protection," and I was angry, I mean. And this was twenty years ago, I don't know, may you live long, what is the ruling?

The Shaykh : Did you feed her zakat, or did she go to her sister's house, or not?

The questioner : No, she did not go, may you live long. It has been twenty years now for me.

The Shaykh : And was your intention divorce, or was your intention to prevent her?

The questioner : No, my intention was to be done with it.

The Shaykh : Divorce, I mean.

The questioner : Yes, indeed, may you live long.

The Shaykh : So, do not go to her mother's house, so, let her not go to her mother's house; if she goes, I will divorce her.

The questioner : And what if, for example, the house changed, may you live long?

The Shaykh : You did not mean the house; you meant the woman.

The questioner : Yes, you have spoken well, O Shaykh.

The presenter : May Allah bless you. May Allah reward you. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah keep you safe.
