A woman stipulating the divorce of her co-wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a woman stipulates the divorce of her co-wife, is that condition valid?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. This is an invalid condition; this is an invalid condition, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. He said:
and a woman should not try to cause some other woman to be divorced inلا تسأل المرأة طلاق أختها لتكفأ ما
Sahih al-Bukhari 2140
Yes, it contains her blessings. Therefore, this condition is not permissible, as it is forbidden in the authentic hadith. Yes.
