Question
A husband swore an oath of divorce on his wife: that she would be divorced if her son traveled abroad for studies, and now he is preparing his papers for travel. What is the ruling on this?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the condition that the divorce is contingent upon is met, which is the travel of the son, the divorce will take place, unless it is intended to prevent it in a specific manner and at a specific time, in which case it will not occur. He should consult the mufti to verify the reality of the situation, and God knows best.
