What is the ruling on the wife returning after her husband said to her: "If you walk away, take your bags of clothes, and leave, you will be divorced by three?"

The questioner made his wife's divorce contingent on her going to a specific place. If she does not go, then nothing is incumbent upon him. But if she does go, then, according to the majority of scholars, a triple divorce occurs, and his wife becomes unlawful for him and does not become lawful again until she marries another husband in a marriage of desire. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah disagreed, saying that an expiation for an oath is required if he did not intend divorce.
