What is the jurisprudential ruling on the position of an intermediary who has a list of furnishings conditioned on a commitment to live without problems, and a mutual trust receipt between the spouses as a punishment for transgression, with the wife's culpability proven in both cases, in addition to proven communication with her previous ex-husband and agreement with him to return after divorcing her current husband?

What is written as a list of furnishings for the wife, to be delivered to her after one year on condition of her commitment to living with the husband, and what is written as a receipt in favor of the wife or the husband—all of these are conditional gifts dependent on a future time and specific conditions. A gift is only valid if it is immediately executed, and conditioning it invalidates it. Therefore, these gifts are not valid and revert to the giver.
