HADITH OF THE DAY
OATH OF LI'AN
Narrated by Abdullah
An Ansari man accused his wife (of committing illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) made both of them takes the Oath of Li'an, and separated them from each other (by divorce).
Note: In the li'an oath, the husband denies paternity of his wife's child. The wife is given an opportunity to take an oath denying infidelity, and if she does so and the husband persists in his accusation, the marriage is dissolved by a judge and the couple can never remarry.
