Is a husband's statement to his wife, "By God Almighty, when I am on my deathbed, I will divorce you," considered a conditional divorce, and can he retract it? What is the ruling on repeating this oath with the intention of a single divorce?

The form of a promise of divorce does not constitute a divorce, nor is it recommended to fulfill it. Some jurists have held that the basic ruling on divorce is prohibition, except when there is a need. One must be keen on everything that brings about harmony and affection, and avoid everything that leads to disputes and discord, and the wife should recognize her husband's status and position.
