What is the ruling on someone who intended in their heart to make divorce conditional upon a certain action and then uttered words that would prevent themself from doing this action, but then did not refrain and committed the action? Is this considered to be swearing by divorce, or has their divorce already taken place?

Smoking is forbidden (). The mere intention to swear by divorce, without uttering the words, is not considered a conditional divorce. Therefore, nothing you mentioned results in any consequence. We advise you to turn away from these whisperings () and ignore them.
