Does the ruling on conditional divorce, where the word "divorce" was not mentioned, apply only to the formula of an oath, or to any conditional formula?

The mentioned fatwas were not cited. Swearing by conditional divorce does not require an explicit divorce pronouncement to be effective. Rather, it is valid with an allusive expression that can mean divorce or something else. However, an allusive divorce does not take effect unless there is an intention to enact it.
