Is an oath not to part ways broken if the debtor departs without permission, without fleeing, while the creditor could have maintained presence, walked with, or restrained the debtor?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Expiations
Primary text
If the debtor departs without permission or fleeing, while the possibility of the creditor maintaining presence, walking with, or restraining the debtor existed, the ruling is the same as when permission was granted: the oath is not broken.
Supporting text
The ruling is the same as when permission was granted, as the debtor did not perform the prohibited act of separation against the creditor's will or against the meaning of the oath ('I will hold you obligated').
