Is what the husband said, "If you install a camera, you'd find us divorced; if you place a recorder, you'd find us divorced; if you eavesdrop on them, you'd find us divorced; if you spy on them, you'd find us divorced," considered a conditional divorce? And does divorce occur if the husband overhears his wife and her mother talking without intending to spy or eavesdrop?
Divorce does not occur as long as there is doubt about its suspension, for the original state is the continuation of the marriage. The statement of Al-Majd Ibn Taymiyyah supports this. The mentioned wordings are not explicit, and the mentioned situations do not fall under spying. So, do not pay attention to these whisperings (waswas).
