The ruling on one who swears by divorce not to do a specific thing, then does it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner for the program al-Haqqiyyah who sent a set of questions. Abu Muhammad, a Sudanese resident of 'Afeef, says in this question: A man swore by divorce not to do a certain thing, but he did it. What is his obligation?
Knowing that when he swore, he intended to bind himself to not doing that thing. Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
If he swore by divorce, for example, saying, "Divorce is upon me if I do not speak to so-and-so," intending to refrain from it, or "Divorce is upon me if I do not travel," and then he traveled, and his intention was to refrain, with no other intention, then there is an expiation for the oath in this. There is nothing in it but the expiation for an oath. Its ruling is the ruling of an oath; because his intention was to urge and prevent; so the expiation for an oath is upon him.
And similar to this is if he said, "Divorce is upon me if my wife does such and such," intending to prevent her, or "Divorce is upon me if so-and-so does such and such," intending to prevent him. Its ruling is the ruling of an oath. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
