Is the ruling on making divorce conditional on an oath the same as the ruling on a man likening his wife to his daughter?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : Shaykh, regarding the issue of making an oath conditional on divorce, like saying "if I do such and such, I am divorced..."
The Shaykh : Do you perhaps mean the reverse?
Al-Halabi : Making divorce conditional on an oath, is the ruling the same as the one known or cited in this oath, applying to the issue of "you are to me like my daughter" or "like my sister" or such, if he conditions this statement with an oath?
The Shaykh : As long as he does not say "you are to me like my mother's back," the answer is yes. But if he says that, it is zihar, and a major expiation is required of him.
The questioner : Even if, Shaykh, he conditions it, does the ruling not apply to him, meaning this is the case?
The Shaykh: Yes.
