Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man wants to prevent his wife from going out and says to her, “If you go out, you are divorced,” is this treated as an oath?
Answer:
This is a condition, not an oath. This is a condition where he makes the divorce contingent on her going out. This is a divorce conditioned on a specific event.
