Chapter on Oaths, Vows, and Expiations
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 38
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لاَ يَمِينَ فِي غَضَبٍ وَ لاَ فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَ لاَ فِي جَبْرٍ وَ لاَ فِي إِكْرَاهٍ" قَالَ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ فَمَا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَ اَلْإِكْرَاهِ وَ اَلْجَبْرِ قَالَ "اَلْجَبْرُ مِنَ اَلسُّلْطَانِ يَكُونُ وَ اَلْإِكْرَاهُ مِنَ اَلزَّوْجَةِ وَ اَلْأَبِ وَ اَلْأُمِّ وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ".
Abdullah ibn al-Qasim narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said that Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "There is no valid oath taken in anger, nor in severing ties of kinship, nor under coercion, nor under compulsion." I asked: "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى keep you well, what is the difference between coercion and compulsion?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Compulsion is from a ruler, while coercion can come from a wife, a father, or a mother, and such an oath is of no consequence."
