The ruling on one who swore that his wife would not leave the house, and she left
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I swore by the Great One that one of them would not leave the house. After I traveled, an incident occurred involving the death of one of her relatives, and she left the house. She sent me a letter informing me of this. What should I do?
Answer: You must pay the expiation for an oath, as long as you swore that she would not leave and then she did leave. You must pay the expiation for an oath: feeding ten poor people, where each poor person is given half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), approximately one and a half kilograms of the staple food of the country, such as dates, barley, rice, or other staple foods of the country, sufficient for ten people. Or you may clothe them, where each poor person is given a shirt or a lower garment and a cloak. This is what is obligatory for you regarding this oath. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
