Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: If a man says to his wife, “I swear by divorce that I will do such-and-such,” and he does not do it, is this like the one who says, “If you do such-and-such, you are divorced”? He says: May Allah reward you. Is the one who says to his wife, “I swear by divorce that I will do such-and-such,” and he does not do it, like the one who says, “If you do such-and-such, you are divorced”?

Answer:
Yes, without a doubt. If he conditions it on doing something and he does it, or she does it, it takes place. And if he conditions it on not doing something, it takes place if he or she does not do it. Yes.
