The question

Does a man's statement to his wife: "I will divorce [you] or I will go to Egypt" count as a conditional divorce, and what is the ruling if she goes to Egypt, knowing that he did not intend divorce but rather the future with the word "I will divorce [you]"?

The answer

This statement means that divorcing his wife is easier for him than going to the specific place. If he does go, no divorce will result, and nothing will be binding on him, because it is neither a suspension of divorce nor an oath. However, it is preferable to avoid such phrases.
