The ruling on one who speaks of divorcing his wife in a state of anger

Question:
I said to my wife: "If you commit this mistake, I will divorce you," and I said this twice while I was in a state of anger. Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good. What are the consequences for me?

Answer:
This is not a divorce; it is a threat. If a man says to his wife, "If you do this, I will divorce you," or "I have divorced you," or "Then I will divorce you," this is not a divorce; it is a threat. If he wishes, he divorces her, and if he wishes, he does not.
"If you do this" is different from if he says, "If you do this, you are divorced":
"If you do this, you are divorced": This is a conditional divorce. If he intends to effect the divorce, the divorce takes place. If he intends to frighten her and prevent her, and does not intend to effect the divorce, but rather wants to frighten and threaten her, then its ruling is the ruling of an oath, according to the correct opinion, and the divorce does not take place. He owes the expiation for an oath.
If he says, "If you speak to so-and-so..." or "If you go out without my permission, you are divorced," intending to threaten, frighten, and warn her, and not intending to effect the divorce, then its ruling is the ruling of an oath. He owes the expiation for an oath if she violates his oath.
As for if he intends to effect the divorce, then the divorce takes place if she violates the condition: if she goes out, or speaks; the divorce that was conditioned on her going out or speaking takes place. But if he says, "I will divorce you," or "I am going to divorce you," then this is a threat, and nothing takes place by it.
