موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الأقضيةBook: On the Explanation of Judges
بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِRuling by oath along with a witness
Hadith 1421B3
قَالَ مَالِكٌ: وَكَذَلِكَ السُّنَّةُ عِنْدَنَا أَيْضًا فِي الطَّلَاقِ. إِذَا جَاءَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ بِشَاهِدٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا. أُحْلِفَ زَوْجُهَا مَا طَلَّقَهَا، فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لَمْ يَقَعْ عَلَيْهِ الطَّلَاقُ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that similarly, if a woman brings one witness regarding the matter that her husband has divorced her, then an oath will be taken from the husband. If he swears an oath that he has not divorced her, then the divorce will not be established.
