He Swore to Divorce in a Fit of Anger

He Swore to Divorce in a Fit of Anger


Question :

I swore to divorce in a fit of anger so that I would not do a certain type of work. Then I was overcome with remorse for the thing for which I had divorced, because it is by pursuing this work that I make a living for myself and my children. So what is the ruling of the Islamic Law on this?
What is the ruling on one who rejects (belief in) the jinn, and is it permissible to marry a female jinn?


Answer:

Since the above-mentioned oath was sworn at the time of intense anger, and it appears that the intention behind it was to prevent himself from doing this work, and that the one who swore did not desire to part from his wife, I consider that he must make the atonement for an unfulfilled oath. That is to feed ten poor persons, with an average meal which he would feed to his family, or to clothe them etc.

He may pursue this work which is of benefit to him, for whoever swore upon an oath and then saw something else better than it, should atone for his oath and do the thing which is better.

We believe that Allah created the jinn to worship Him, like mankind, but He has hidden them from the sight of mankind, as He has hidden the angels and the devils. Allah, Most High says:
Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them.

Since they are spirits without bodies, like the spirit of man, who dies when his soul leaves his body and we believe that Satan circulates in the body of man like the circulation of blood.

Likewise, the jinn are able to enter a man's body and control him, but it has not been transmitted that a man married a female jinn, or the opposite. Perhaps the reader would care to refer to Risalah Idhah Ad-Dalalah by Ibn Taimiyyah.
