Is the phrase "You are divorced until the Day of Judgment" considered a divorce?
The phrase "You are divorced until the Day of Resurrection" is not considered a conditional divorce. If the husband uses it repeatedly, then divorces occur according to the number of times the phrase is uttered. However, if the husband made the divorce conditional upon a specific action, and that action did not occur, then nothing is incumbent upon him. If he made the divorce conditional three or more times, and the condition was met, and then he took her back during her waiting period, and so on, then she becomes unlawful for him according to the majority of scholars. As for the phrase "You are divorced until the Day of Resurrection," it is a clear expression that effects a single divorce, provided it was not preceded by three or more divorces. The husband should consult trustworthy scholars to explain to them the details of the divorces he has pronounced.
