The ruling on one who swears by saying: (May the status of Allah fall upon you so that you do not do such and such)]
We are young men from the Sultanate of Oman, and we are in need of your specific prayers for us,And the question says: A woman swore at her husband using this formula: (May the status of Allah fall upon you so that you do not do such and such). Is this considered an oath? And what is the ruling if the husband disobeys her?
This is not permissible. This is seeking intercession with Allah to this husband, and it is not permissible, because the one who seeks intercession is of a lower rank than the one for whom intercession is sought. It is not permissible to make Allah the Exalted an intercessor to His creation, because He is too great to be an intercessor to His creation. Therefore, this oath is invalid and nothing is entailed by it, except that the woman and whoever has become accustomed to this must repent to Allah and not return to it.
