Does a divorce issued in the form of: "By God, if you do not open the door after counting to ten, then you are divorced, divorced, divorced, the triple divorce," take effect, bearing in mind that this utterance occurred during a period of purity in which the questioner had intercourse with his wife, and he did not intend to issue a divorce but rather to admonish, and the intention behind the counting was to attend Friday prayer, and is this considered one divorce or three, taking into account that he had previously uttered this word once during menstruation?

Swearing by divorce or making it conditional is impermissible because it exposes the marital bond to danger. The husband must deal with his anger with wisdom and gentleness. The majority of scholars are of the opinion that the wife is divorced upon the occurrence of the condition on which the divorce was suspended, whether the husband intended divorce or merely a threat. However, some scholars, like Ibn Taymiyyah, believe that if he did not intend divorce, then only an expiation for an oath (kaffarat yameen) is required of him. The occurrence of a triple divorce in a single session or divorce during menstruation is the view of the majority, while Ibn Taymiyyah differs on this. If the intention of the one swearing an oath by suspending divorce was to be able to pray in congregation, and then he achieved what he intended, it appears that no divorce occurs because he did not break his oath. The intention specifies and restricts the wording.
