Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Another sister says that her husband vowed not to marry as long as she is with him. Is this vow obligatory to fulfill, or not?
The Shaykh : This vow has the ruling of an oath.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because it falls under the category of vows made in anger or obstinacy, as the jurists have named it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Since he only vowed with the intention of abstaining, if he wishes to marry a woman while his wife is with him, he may do so, but he must expiate the oath.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He must feed ten poor people.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
