What is the ruling regarding a man's statement to his wife, in a state of anger: "I swear by triple divorce that you will never go to your father's house for the rest of your life," and then he followed it a minute later with "in sha' Allah"? And does the divorce take effect if she goes to her father's house? And does the delayed exception benefit him? And does the word "الطلاء" (al-tala', meaning paint/coating) with a hamza, effect divorce?

If someone swears by triple divorce that his wife will not go to her father's house, and she does go, then triple divorce occurs according to the majority of scholars, and she becomes unlawful for him until she marries another husband. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah is of the view that he owes an expiation for an oath (kaffarat yamin) if he did not intend divorce. If he did intend it, then one divorce occurs, and he can take her back before her waiting period (iddah) ends, unless this divorce completes three divorces. The exception "in sha' Allah" (God willing) is not beneficial in an oath of divorce according to some scholars, and the condition for its benefit is that it be immediately connected to the thing from which the exception is made. Thus, the passage of a minute prevents its benefit.
