Question 2135) - He vowed that his wife may not leave without his permission. He granted her permission once. She left and returned. She then left a second time without explicit permission. Is his vow broken?

A: Yes, his vow is broken if his words were as above. If however he had vowed whilst speaking to her, "By Allaah, you may not leave unless I permit you to," then if he permits her even once and she goes and returns and leaves again, his vow is intact.
