Chapter On Condemnation ( Lu'an )

Rule (1518) Reason for cursing is accusing the wife of fornicating on the eyewitness basis but no testimony.

It also is established by refusing to accept the child, who is born in his home and possibly.

Rule (1519) For the effectiveness of cursing it is necessary that both husband and wife are mature, the woman is free from deafness and dumbness and the marriage must be permanent, already consummated and that she is not known as a prostitute. It is formed by man saying four times, " I take Allah as witness that what I say is true. I am of the truthful people about what I said about this woman, and about refusing to accept her child as my child" and then says," May the curse of Allah be upon me if I be of the Lying ones." Then the woman says four times, " I take Allah as witness that he is of the Lying ones." Then says," May the curse of Allah be upon me if he be of the truthful ones in accusing me of fornication and his rejecting the child as being his child". Thus, she becomes unlawful for him forever in marriage. The statements of testimony about God must be pronounced in Arabic and in a standing position and that the man makes such statements first and specify the woman and say them in Arabic if possible. If Arabic is not possible, other languages could also be used. First the testimony part must be said then the cursing part in the case of man, it is preferable that the high authority at such time sits with his back to Qibla (the direction of Kaba) The man must stand to the right of the Judge and the woman on his left side, the people hearing it must be present and that the parties must be given enough advice before the process begins.

Rule (1520) If the cursing man after cursing states that he has lied, he will not be punished for accusation, but the unlawfulness remains effective. If during the process of cursing he states that he has lied, he will be punished but cursing will not have any effect.
