What is binding upon me when I swore, saying: "Haram, a divorce, that your lunch is today," to a friend for him to receive a money transfer for me, but he was a day late from the specified time, "today"?
What happened is that an oath was taken to forbid the wife (as if she were unlawful) and to divorce her, on the condition that the man takes sufficient money for his food and juices and delivers the remainder to a specific party on a specific day. The default is that the oath is broken if the sworn-upon condition is not met. However, if the intention was to motivate him (the swearer) when the transfer was received, without intending to actually carry out what was sworn upon specifically on that day, then this is not considered a breach of the oath.
