The Difference Between Swearing an Oath of Divorce and Suspending Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the difference between swearing an oath of divorce and suspending divorce?
Answer:
Swearing an oath of divorce is when one intends by it to urge someone to do something, or to prevent something, or to affirm or deny something, using it as one would use an oath. As for suspending divorce, its meaning is that one makes the divorce contingent upon something: if that thing happens, the divorce takes place; if it does not happen, the divorce does not take place. For example, "If you do such and such, you are divorced," or "If you leave the house, you are divorced." This suspension is merely a suspension and not an oath. Yes.
