Question
My husband swore an oath of divorce that I would not go to my parents' house except once a month, and now my mother is ill and he wants me to go to her. He said that when he swore the oath, his intention was to threaten and not to divorce. What is the solution for me to go to my parents' house?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: A conditional divorce takes effect upon the occurrence of the condition. If your husband intended to prevent the divorce during this period or to leave without reason, his intention is considered. You should consult the mufti to confirm the situation, and God knows best.
