Is it permissible for a man who swore that his wife would be divorced if he wore a certain shoe, to wear this shoe a week after his oath?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
For an exception in an oath to be valid, two conditions must be met: The exception must be connected to the oath, and one must intend the exception before completing the oath. Therefore, a man's exception made minutes later, saying "except after a week," is not valid.
