The timing of the intention of figurative interpretation in an oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if the Shaykh, may Allah reward him, is asked whether it is obligatory for one who intends figurative interpretation in an oath to intend it before he utters the oath, or whether it is permissible for the intention to coincide with the utterance or to come after it.
Answer:
It does not come after; the intention of figurative interpretation must coincide with the utterance. As for if he does not intend figurative interpretation until after he has finished the oath, then the figurative interpretation does not benefit him. Yes.
