Comment on the Triple Divorce
My husband returned from travel and found the house unkempt. I have two sons, a child, and a daughter. He said: 'The divorce of three from anyone who does not clean the house, I will expel him and he will not sleep in the house anymore.' My eldest son is sick and is 21 years old, so he did not clean due to his illness. I did not clean because I was beside my sick son, and we are still in conflict because of this oath after 23 years of marriage. What is the ruling, has the divorce occurred?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: There is no excuse for neglecting the duties of the home, and it is the husband's right to see his house clean and tidy after enduring great hardship and fatigue at work. Therefore, the wife must take great care in this matter, and the conditional oath is valid upon the occurrence of the condition. You should consult the mufti to verify the occurrence, and God knows best.
