The Occurrence of Divorce Oath
A father gave his son an amount of money and said to him: This money is to pay off a debt for you. The son refused to take the money and said: By divorce, I will not take the money. The father took the money and paid off his son's debt. Did the divorce oath occur in this case or not, since the son did not take the money?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The divorce did not occur; because the payment was not made by the son's action or by his order, so he does not break his oath, and God knows best.
