Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: If a man makes his divorce conditional on a specific time, and that time passes after his death, is the divorce effective?
The Shaykh:
If he conditions it on a specific time, the divorce does not take effect if that time passes. Because it was conditioned on a specific time, and the divorce did not occur. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If he says, "If Zayd comes after one week, you are divorced," and then Zayd is delayed and does not come until after two or three weeks, there is no divorce in that case. Yes, because the condition ended with the passing of the first week; the condition ended.
