The ruling on swearing an oath of divorce and its being an oath of divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does an oath of divorce take effect, and does it have an expiation?
Answer:
An oath of divorce is not an oath in the sense of what is prohibited, i.e., swearing by other than Allah, which means associating with the oath by Allah in that one intends by it only prohibition or exhortation. Tying divorce to something one intends to prohibit or exhort is called an oath of divorce, and it is not among the oaths that are prohibited, so it does not become shirk (associating partners with Allah), as some people understand it. No, that is a mistake, but it is called an oath because it resembles an oath, since its purpose is prohibition or exhortation. Yes.
