Commentary
In Islamic Law, some serious deeds like marriage, divorce, return, and manumission and their execution are strictly determined under decisive expedencies. So, it is strongly prohibited doing these in jest. Whoever performs these deeds in jest and fun, his action is taken seriously and it is considered implemented according to Islamic Law.
