The ruling on threatening with divorce to compel the wife to work

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife usually does not do anything for me unless I threaten her with divorce, in which case she does it quickly. Does this continuous threat in our life count as a divorce, even though I do not state it explicitly but intend it as a threat?

Answer:
If you utter the words of divorce, it takes place, even if you say it is only a threat. But if you do not utter it, and you say, for example, “I will do such and such, or I will divorce you,” this is a threat and nothing takes place by it, because you promised her that you would divorce her. However, if you say, “If you do not do such and such, you are divorced,” then the divorce takes place, and it does not help you that you intended it as a threat. Three things are like divorce, in which joking and threatening do not help: yes.
