The Ruling on Swearing Divorce Three Times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on swearing divorce three times? Does the divorce take effect if the oath is not directed at the wife, especially since some people have become accustomed to it and do not write the divorce? And what is the loss if the divorce does take effect? Does it count as one divorce or three? This is the Messenger.
Answer:
There is a distinction regarding the Sunnah of divorce; one does not err continuously. It is necessary to question the person who swore the oath to understand his intention and the specific words he used, and to determine whether a previous divorce preceded it or not. He must then appear either before the judge or at the house of the judge. A general fatwa given in a lesson or in the mosque is not valid, because some people may misunderstand it and apply it to themselves, or they may inform others of it and those others may misunderstand it. It is necessary to present such cases to the mosque or to the judge.
