What is the ruling regarding a man saying to his wife, in a moment of anger and tension, "Haram and divorce, I will not go," concerning going to a specific place, and what are the consequences if he does go to that place? Is expiation (kaffarah) binding upon him, given his difficult financial situation?

If the anger is so severe that one is unaware of what is being said, then nothing takes effect. However, if the questioner was aware and did not go to the intended place, then there is no obligation upon him.

If he did go there, the ruling is as follows:

1. **Saying "haram and divorce":** Some scholars consider this akin to an explicit statement. If divorce was intended, then it is a divorce. If *ẓihār* (a form of injurious vow) was intended, then it is *ẓihār*. If an oath was intended, or if nothing was intended, then an expiation for an oath (*kaffārat yamīn*) is due. 2. **Intending divorce by prohibition:** If you intended divorce by the prohibition, two divorces are incumbent upon you, unless you intended emphasis, in which case one divorce is incumbent.

**Expiation for an oath (*kaffārat yamīn*):** Feeding ten poor persons, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If you are unable to do so, then fast for three days.

**Expiation for *ẓihār* (*kaffārat ẓihār*):** Freeing a slave. If you are unable to do so, then fast for two consecutive months. If you are unable to do so, then feed sixty poor persons.
