What should one do if he swore to his wife: that she is divorced if he goes to Afghanistan, and he now wants to travel to Afghanistan?

The Shaykh : You swore to her with divorce that you would not travel? Or that you would not travel to Afghanistan? Was your oath with divorce general? Or specific?

The questioner : Specific to Afghanistan.

The Shaykh : You swore to her with divorce that you would not travel to Afghanistan, okay, and now you want to travel, and you did not have intercourse with your wife?

The questioner : I had intercourse with my wife at the time of the oath.

The Shaykh : You were not having intercourse?

The questioner : I was not having intercourse.

The Shaykh : Were you not in a state of marital relations?

The questioner : Yes, I was only in a state of marital relations.

The Shaykh : Ah. Now, if there is someone among your brothers who can take care of her, it is permissible for you to travel to Afghanistan, and you must pay the expiation for an oath, which is feeding ten poor people, and that is all.
