Which divorce took place: the suspended divorce contingent upon the wife leaving the house, or the subsequent explicit divorce? And does an explicit divorce take place if the wife is in the waiting period of a suspended divorce?
If a man says to his wife: "If you leave the house, you will not return," and he intends to link this with his statement "I will divorce you," then it is merely a promise of divorce, and nothing takes effect. However, if he intends to make her divorce conditional upon her leaving, then the divorce takes effect upon her leaving, and it is counted as one divorce according to the majority of scholars. The fact that you are angry does not prevent the divorce from taking effect, as long as you are aware of what you are saying. An explicit divorce takes effect whether a conditional divorce has occurred or not, and the divorce of a woman in revocable takes effect according to the majority of scholars.
