Islam > Hadiths > Oath to Abstain from Intercourse with One's Wife
3 explained prophetic hadiths on "Oath to Abstain from Intercourse with One's Wife": Arabic text, translation, explanation and lessons, with authenticity grade and references.
The 3 hadiths deal with the oath of abstaining from one's wife: at the end of four months, the husband chooses between annulling his oath or divorcing; more than ten Companions, met by the reporter, all stopped the one who swears to stay away from his wife; and the reminder that in the pre-Islamic period this oath lasted one or two years, before Allah fixed its term, an oath of less than four months not counting as abstinence. Two texts are authentic, the third has no grading.
