Does divorce occur if I re-enter the marriage website, after having sworn to divorce my wife with the intention of preventing myself from browsing it?
The majority of scholars hold that a conditional divorce takes effect when the condition is met, regardless of whether the husband intended the divorce or not.
Therefore, if you conditioned divorce upon entering matrimonial websites and you subsequently entered them, the divorce has occurred according to the majority of scholars. You may reconcile with your wife before her ' (waiting period) is complete, provided this divorce does not complete the three divorces.
However, Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and those who agreed with him were of the opinion that an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat ) becomes obligatory if you did not intend divorce but rather intended to prevent yourself (from doing something). Nevertheless, the preponderant view is that of the majority of scholars.
