What is the religious ruling on a person who swore an oath by divorce that his wife would not go to her family, and then he did not fulfill his oath? And is it permissible for someone who vowed a sum of money for reading the Qur’an to spend it on another charitable act, such as charity or giving it to a mosque that does not have an endowment?
