Husband taking the oath of Talaq to slaughter an animal for his guest and the guest taking a similar oath not to do


416

A: The man who took an oath of Talaq to slaughter a goat to entertain his guest and he did not slaughter it must offer Kaffarah for breaking his oath. The Kaffarah is to feed ten needy people, or provide them with clothing - one piece of clothing for each, or to emancipate a believing slave. If he cannot do any of these, he must observe Sawm (Fast) for three days. This is because the oath of Talaq takes the ruling on breaking an oath if the person does not actually intend to divorce his wife. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
