Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a husband conditions his wife, saying, "If you pray in this place, you are divorced," and she prays in that place, but it later becomes clear that her prayer was not valid because she missed a condition or a pillar of the prayer, does the divorce take effect?
Answer:
Yes. What was the intention: the validity of the prayer, or the absence of prayer? The intention was to occupy the place with prayer. Yes.
