Does divorce take effect with the husband's statement, "We consider it a divorce," and the endorsement of a sheikh's ruling based on a mistaken account from the wife, knowing that the husband's original intention was not divorce, and no violation of the conditional oath occurred?

Divorce does not occur with the husband's statement, "We consider it a divorce," if he believes that the conditional clause has been fulfilled, while in reality, it has not. So, if a man believes the condition has occurred and says, "Go, you are divorced," but it later becomes clear that the condition did not exist, the divorce does not take place. You must ignore these whisperings and not pay attention to them.
