Oaths of divorce taken by one who is not married

Question:
After this, a message was received by the program from one of the listeners. The sender, Ahmad Sudan, asks and says: I have a friend who frequently swears by divorce, and he is not married. Does he owe anything?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to habituate his tongue to swearing by divorce, even if he is not married. He should swear by Allah if he needs to swear. If he needs to swear, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: that he should remain silent and not accustom himself to this phrase; because perhaps if he marries, he will continue with this habit, and swearing by divorce will cause him difficulty with his wife. Perhaps the divorce will fall upon her, or perhaps it will become apparent from him due to his negligence. A person should guard his tongue from swearing by divorce except when there is a need for it? And.
