A man swore by divorce that he would not taste any meat, intending that his friend not slaughter a sacrificial animal for him, so he would not burden him

The questioner : A man went to a friend of his but did not find him at home, so he wrote a note: "I will come later, and by divorce I will not taste anything," intending by this that no sacrificial animal be slaughtered for him. When he returned to him after a while, he found that the man, the "host," had brought a sacrificial animal, slaughtered it, and cooked it, and served him food. This man says that he sat at the meal and did not taste the meat, but only ate from the bread—meaning: the rice. What is the ruling on this divorce, and it is the first time it has occurred from me?

The Shaykh : What was his wording?

The questioner : His wording, verbatim, was: "I will not taste anything by divorce." He said he meant the pleasures of slaughter without meat, meaning so as not to burden him with anything, because it is customary... when a man comes to someone, for him to slaughter a sacrificial animal for him.

The Shaykh : Did he swear that he would not taste anything, or that nothing would be slaughtered for him?

The questioner : He said: I intended it.

The Shaykh : No, before he intended it, what was his wording?

The questioner : His wording was: "I will not taste anything of the meat," meaning the slaughter, by divorce.

The Shaykh : If that is the case, then he owes nothing.

Another questioner : ... .

The questioner : Meat, meat, he said: meat.
The questioner : Yes, I do.

The Shaykh : He said: burden him!!

The questioner : So as not to burden him, so as not to slaughter, meaning he wants to eat normally from home.

The Shaykh : In any case, the fatwa is based on the text. If the man said: "I will not eat anything of what is usually slaughtered," then it is according to his intention.

The questioner : So he wrote and said: My intention is this; and Allah knows best the intentions.

The Shaykh : He owes nothing.

Another questioner : And no expiation for the oath?

The Shaykh: No.

Another questioner : Our Shaykh, he was agitated...

Another questioner : This is a writer of an article who said: End of the year...

The Shaykh : It depends on... the narrator.

Another questioner : Ah, that is it.

The Shaykh : It is a disaster, the doctors at the end of times!
