Does divorce occur with the words: "I divorce my mother by three if I do not relieve you," if the divorcer's intention of relief that he sought is not achieved?
We emphasize that swearing by divorce is an oath of the wicked, and a Muslim should avoid it. If one wishes to swear an oath, let him swear by Allah or remain silent. If you swore concerning your mother's comfort, and she affirmed to you that her comfort lies in your staying near her and your family staying with you, then it appears that nothing is binding upon you. Therefore, strive to be dutiful to your parents, remain close to them, and avoid anything that would cause them offense.
