The husband saying: "Be quiet or I will divorce you"; does this count as a divorce?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man threatens his wife, saying for example, "Be quiet, or I will divorce you," does this count as a divorce?

Answer:
No, he has not divorced her yet. If he said, "If you do not be quiet, I will divorce you," that is different from saying, "If you do not be quiet, you are divorced." Yes.
