Is it required that the exception be made immediately after the oath?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it required that the exception in an oath be made immediately after the oath, or is it valid if there is an interval between them?

The Shaykh:
Some say it must be connected to the wording, while others say it is permissible for it to be within the same session; if the exception is made within the session, that is sufficient. The first opinion is that it must be connected to the wording. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father.

The Shaykh:
The hadith of Sulayman (peace be upon him) indicates that it is not required to be connected to the wording, because when he swore, the one who wrote it said to him, "Say, if Allah wills." This shows that it was separate from it, and that if he says "if Allah wills," even after he has finished his speech, it benefits him. This is evidence that verbal connection is not required, but connection within the session is required. Yes.
