Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And another says: I am sick and I have not yet married, and I vowed that if Allah heals me, I will divorce when I get married. So Allah healed him. What is the ruling on this vow? Come here. A sick man who has not yet married vowed that if he is healed, he will divorce when he marries. So Allah healed him. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
How bad is what he did, and how poor is what he did. This is a purpose born of ignorance, so he is saying things that are not in the Shari'ah. In any case, if he made this vow, he owes an oath expiation. If he marries, he does not divorce. If Allah grants him success in marriage, he praises Allah and does not divorce. He owes an oath expiation, and he should not get into the habit of making this vow.
