Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Go ahead.
The questioner : If he intends the divorce and speaks in front of people, then this speech becomes an action.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So does it become the same situation?
The Shaykh : This would be a conditional divorce, so what did he say, for example?
The questioner : He intended the divorce and said: I will divorce her.
The Shaykh : Do not repeat your words, may Allah reward you. Answer my question. Tell me what he said.
The questioner : He said, "I will divorce her." He did not say, "I have divorced you."
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : He said: I will divorce her after the completion of my studies.
The Shaykh : Okay, so he conditioned it, meaning.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, if he truly intends to divorce and testifies to that, then the divorce takes effect after the studies. This is the conditional divorce.
The questioner : In this case, it is not considered a temporary marriage because it was not.
The Shaykh : No, no, this is a divorce, a conditional divorce. We said that a temporary marriage is when he agrees with her to marry her for a period of time and then divorce her.
The questioner : Without testimony and without, meaning, making it public.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
