Does a divorce occur with the statement, "I will divorce you if you do not reconcile and do what I want within the limits of Allah's Sharia," after the wife improves?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is understood from the question that the questioner threatened his wife with divorce unless she changed her ways. This is neither a divorce nor a suspension of one; rather, it is merely a threat. If the wife’s condition improves, she should not be divorced, and the questioner is not bound by anything from his threat.
