The Ruling on Frequently Swearing by Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This is a questioner for the program who sent a set of questions, starting with this one: My brother swears a lot by divorce, using the phrase "I divorce you" three times, repeating it more than twenty times a day, and he says it is not his intention to separate from his wife. Does this kind of divorce take effect?
Answer:
He must hasten to seek a ruling from the Department of Ifta. He should go to the Department of Ifta in person or write a letter to them stating his address, and they will look into it, if Allah wills, or he can consult the court near him. Generally, Honorable Shaykh, those who frequently utter divorce or swear by it—this is not permissible, because divorce is a serious word with severe consequences. Therefore, it is not permissible to utter divorce frequently or to make it the object of one's oaths. Yes.
