Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: If a husband says to his wife, “If you pray this obligatory prayer, you are divorced,” does she become divorced if she prays?
Answer:
Yes, he has made it conditional upon the prayer, and this indicates that he is wicked in this matter. However, if he made it conditional upon the prayer and she prays, she is divorced. But she should pray and not leave the prayer because of the divorce; she prays and the divorce takes effect. And it is better for her to be divorced from him; it is better for her to be divorced from him. Yes.
