Does a man's divorce of his wife take effect if he says "you are divorced" without intending divorce, but rather intending to swear an oath of divorce by saying "you are divorced if I do such-and-such," yet his tongue stumbled and stopped at "you are divorced," while he had just woken up from sleep?
If you utter "You are divorced" and intend to make the divorce contingent on your wife's return to a bad answer, and you do not utter the condition itself, then the divorce does not take effect religiously, provided the wife does not return to such a bad answer. The matter depends on your intention.
