The Suspended Oath
A wife swore that if her husband did not allow her to visit her brother-in-law, he would not permit her to visit her sister in a distant city. Later, the husband regretted it. What is the solution? Can he allow the wife to go to her sister in that city and meet her in a public place instead of her house, or would that constitute a divorce oath?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the condition is met, the divorce will occur. She should see her sister outside her house so that the divorce does not take place, and they should consult the mufti to confirm the details of the issue. God knows best.
