Does Fatwa No. 213355 imply that nothing results from it because it is merely in the form of an oath, or does this ruling apply to any other forms of contingency?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on an oath of divorce, if the person making it does not complete its wording, whether he swore by divorce or made it conditional on a happening, is as follows: If a man says, "You are thrice divorced irrevocably," but he does not intend divorce but rather an oath, and then he stops himself from completing the oath, his wife is not divorced, and nothing is binding upon him.
