"What is the Sharia ruling on someone who swore by divorce three times upon his wife, thinking that she said something, then it became clear to him that the opposite was true? What is the ruling on the divorce in this case, when does the divorce occur, and when is a divorce considered to have taken place? "

"If you swore believing that your wife did the thing you swore about, then the more likely opinion is that you have not broken your oath, even if the reality is that your wife did not do this thing. However, if you swore by divorce falsely or doubting the matter, then you have broken your oath. In this case, you must repent to God, and according to some scholars, you are obligated to offer expiation for the oath because you swore by God falsely. According to the majority, your wife is divorced thrice. Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah believes that this oath does not result in divorce, nor does it require expiation. It is best to present the matter to trustworthy scholars whom you can speak to directly. We advise you to abstain from swearing by divorce, as it is from the oaths of the immoral. The lawful oath is swearing by God Almighty.
