The Ruling on a Husband Swearing an Oath of Li'an with His Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man has doubts about his wife's conduct. Is it permissible for him to swear an oath of li'an (mutual oath-swearing in an accusation of adultery) between himself and her? And does li'an annul the marriage contract?
Answer:
Li'an is established by the judge or by the husband; no other person establishes it. So the specialized jurisdiction of the Sharia judge is the one who establishes li'an. Yes.
