The Difference Between a Vow of Divorce and an Oath of Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between these two phrases from a jurisprudential perspective? The first phrase is when a man says to his wife, “If you enter this house, you are divorced.” The second phrase is, “I swear by Allah, if you enter this house, you are divorced.” Is there a difference between them?

Answer:
This is not a vow of obedience. You recently understood that a vow of divorce is disliked. He must pay the expiation for an oath, and he does not divorce his wife. It is not executed; he does not divorce his wife, but he pays the expiation for an oath. Yes.
