The Exception in the Statement: “All My Wives Are Divorced Except Those Who Obeyed Me”

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man says, “All my wives are divorced,”

The Shaykh:
What Allah willed. Yes.

The questioner:
except those who obeyed me and did not go out today, and he did not know the number of those who went out without his permission, and then he learned that only one woman went out, is this exception valid, even though he excepted more than half?

The Shaykh:
Spain.

The questioner:
If a man says, “All my wives are divorced except those who obeyed me and did not go out today,” and he did not know the number of those who went out without his permission, and then he learned that only one woman went out, is this exception valid, even though he excepted more than half?

The Shaykh:
If he knows that the one who went out is a single woman, then that one woman is divorced because the condition was fulfilled for her, and those who did not go out are not divorced.
