Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I say to my wife, “I will divorce you on such-and-such a day,” does the divorce take place when that day arrives?
Answer:
No, “I will divorce you,” yes. He did not make it conditional. If he had said, “If such-and-such time comes, you are divorced,” that would be a conditional divorce. But he said, “I will divorce you,” yes, that does not amount to anything, yes.
