Does divorce occur if the wife answers a phone number she memorized but is not saved on her mobile, after the husband stipulated that divorce would occur if she answered an unsaved, unknown number?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a husband makes a divorce conditional upon a condition, then if he intended divorce by it, it takes effect when the condition is met. However, if he intended by it what is intended by an oath, such as urging or preventing, then divorce does not take effect, and he must offer expiation for an oath if he breaks it. The determination of whether the divorce takes effect depends on the husband's intention when making the divorce conditional, and in specifying the type of unregistered numbers he wanted to prevent his wife from answering. It is advisable to avoid using divorce pronouncements.
