What is the ruling on one who swears to divorce his wife with the intention of threatening her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I swore to divorce my wife if she goes to a shaykh from the shaykhs of the Sufi paths, and he is deceased.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He is deceased, that she not go to so-and-so shaykh, and my intention was to threaten her, not to divorce her.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And she went while I was absent, so is she considered divorced?
The Shaykh : Where did she go?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Where did she go?
The questioner : She went to this man.
The Shaykh : And he is dead?
The questioner : And he is dead.
The Shaykh : Are you calling upon him?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Are you calling upon him?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : She is now separated from you, separated from you, it is not a divorce because she associated partners with Allah and apostatized from Islam. This is major shirk. The one who calls upon graves is a mushrik, a major shirk. So now, see if she has repented or not. The problem with this is that if the waiting period expires before she repents, you must renew the marriage contract. If she repents before the waiting period expires, that is what is required. If she is ignorant and does not know that this is shirk, she is excused, and your divorce becomes an oath that you expiate with the expiation of an oath, and do not return to this. Do not return to the women, they are not cheap, yes, that is right.
The questioner : The man works as a surveyor, he ended his contract with the company and left, then he came back. When he was leaving the job, a large project came to him, meaning he could not do it unless one who has experience.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Experience, meaning this man has experience. So at a certain time, the employer, this employer, said, do it, or I will bring a contractor to do it. The one before him said, he can do it, so you want him to do it for you, he did it for you. So he came and did it, and they agreed on a sum. Then the new employee, the newly hired one, said to the old one, half the money is for me and half for you, because he will sign the project that it has been completed. So is this money that the new employee takes forbidden for him or not?
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you, this is an important question, but let the father speak to me so that I can understand the matter as it should be, yes.
The Shaykh : What?
