| Never cross your wife A married man left work early one Friday afternoon but instead of going home, he squandered the weekend, (and his paycheck) partying with the boys. When he finally returned home on Sunday night, he ran into a barrage of epithets from his wife. After a couple of hours of nagging and berating, his wife asked "How would you like it if you didn't see me for a couple of days?" "That would suit me just fine!!" the man said. Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday went by with the same result. Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little, just out of the corner of his left eye |

| Asalaamu Alaikum :) Ouch!!! Puts a whole new meaning to marital sparring ;) This joke reminded me of a story about Imam Abu Hanifah A husband came to him one day asking for a ruling. He said he and his wife were having a big argument and were threatening not to speak to each other again. In a moment of anger he swore By Allah that he would never talk to his wife again unless she spoke to him. The wife in a similar state of anger immediately then made the same oath to her husband. After a few days the husband obviously regretted what he had done, and he started going to scholars to ask whether he could in anyway get himself out of what he had said without having to make some expiation for breaking his vow. All of them gave him the same response, namely that the only way he could talk to his wife again would be to break his vow and make the necessary expiation. He then came to Imam Abu Hanifah and related to him the incident. The Imam told him that no expiation was needed and that he should go home and talk to his wife. The man, greatly relieved, went home and talked to his wife. After a few days the other scholars began to hear what had happened and came to see Imam Abu Hanifah. The Imam called the man and asked him to relate the story which he duly did. He then explained why he had given his ruling. He said.... To be continued ;) Anyone care to speculate why Imam Abu Hanifah gave the ruling he did? |

| Alsallamu Alaykum The reason for that is because he swore in a moment of anger, and prophet muhammad (SAWS) said that when anything is said in anger it does not count...right or wrong? |

| Because she swore AFTER him that she wouldn't speak to him unless he spoke first. So for him that means that she spoke to him first, and therefore he could talk to her. ? |

| Asalaamu Alaikum :) He said that once the husband had made his oath, the only thing that would clear the oath would be for his wife to talk to him first since he had said "I will never talk to you unless you talk to me By making her own oath and talking to her husband, the wife had satisfied the husband's oath. Thus when Imam Abu Hanifah told him to go home and talk to his wife, he was free to do so and by talking to her he then cleared his wife's oath since he talked to her before she talked to him. I think you should pursue those fiqh classes Sr Mariam :) |
