The answer

If a man says to his wife: "If you do such and such, you are divorced," then if the wife does not do the thing conditioned, divorce does not occur. However, if she does it, divorce occurs according to the majority of scholars. Some scholars, such as Ibn Taymiyyah, are of the view that if the husband did not intend divorce but rather intended prevention or threat, then he must offer expiation for breaking an oath.
