Does a triple divorce take effect if the utterance was intended for intimidation and prevention, and then the wife violated and disobeyed the command?
The majority of scholars hold the view that a conditional divorce takes effect if the condition it is tied to is fulfilled, and this is the preponderant opinion. If you conditioned divorcing your wife with a triple divorce upon her giving money to your son, and she did so, then a triple divorce has occurred according to the majority. Consequently, she becomes unlawful for you until she marries another man in a valid marriage and he divorces her after consummating the marriage. Ibn Taymiyyah is of the view that you are obligated to offer an expiation for breaking an oath if you did not intend divorce.
