A man said to his wife: "You are divorced," then he cut off his speech by mentioning Allah, then he said: "If you do so and so!"

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man says to his wife, "You are divorced," and then says after that, "I seek refuge in Allah
in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
[An-Nahl 16:98]
if you go to so-and-so and so-and-so."

Answer:
Does this work? The divorce takes effect because he separated the exception from the original statement with another statement, which is the seeking of refuge. It is like if he had said, "You are divorced, Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, if you enter the house," this would not help. Yes.
