Is it permissible to swear by divorce or by prohibition?

The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Swearing by divorce or by prohibition is not permissible, but swearing by divorce or by prohibition is not in this specific form. Therefore, we restricted it to a specific form... If you say, "If I do such-and-such, my wife is divorced," its ruling is the ruling of an oath; otherwise, it is not an oath. For this reason, Allah the Mighty and Majestic said to the Prophet:[At-Tahrim 66:1-2] He made the prohibition an oath because the meaning of an oath is intended by it, exactly. Yes, yes? Oh, Boyan.

(1) O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (2) Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths
