Does divorce occur for someone who swore an oath of divorce to send money the next day, but was unable to send it due to circumstances beyond his control, and then sent it a year later?
If there is no other means to transfer money except the Bank of Sudan, which has prohibited external transfers, then you have not broken your oath, because righteousness is not achieved if a common, pre-existing impediment prevents it. However, if there were other means of transfer available and you did not use them, then you have fallen short in fulfilling your oath, and the divorce has occurred due to the non-fulfillment of the condition upon which it was suspended, which was transferring the money at the specified time. You can reconcile with your wife before her 'iddah period ends, provided this divorce does not complete the three divorces.
