Does the oath of divorce (if it has occurred) not to re-book the first car include the second car (the GMC) that was booked later, knowing that the intention was to urge oneself not to re-book the first car, and that we follow the opinion of Ibn Taymiyyah that the divorce oath depends on the intention?
