What is the ruling on a couple living their lives normally and carrying out all matters, including those that are doubtful, when the spouses have forgotten the details of an oath of divorce sworn by the husband, with his intention to effect a divorce at the time of swearing it? And does the divorce take effect if the doubtful matters are indeed among those he swore by?

The question contained two matters: swearing to divorce over multiple issues, and forgetting the matters sworn upon. We detail the ruling on swearing to divorce in Fatwa No. 114013. As for forgetting the matters sworn upon, the ruling on it is clear in Fatwa No. 125848, in which we mentioned that divorce does not occur with doubt. We would like to point out that anger is a malady that leads to many afflictions, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against it. Please refer to Fatwa No. 33820. The husband should be careful not to make divorce a means to resolve marital disputes, as swearing to divorce is an reprehensible and innovative act, and it is among the oaths of the dissolute, as explained in Fatwa No. 64797.
