The question

Is the divorce that occurred between the spouses considered a revocable or an irrevocable divorce, given that the husband had previously divorced his wife three times in a phone call, which was reversed by a fatwa, and he conditioned the divorce on placing her picture on social media, and the picture was placed three times, intentionally and unintentionally, the last of which was due to the wife's request for divorce because of living conditions?

The answer

To summarize what was mentioned in the question, the divorce occurred twice: the first time before consummation, and the second time with an explicit pronouncement. As for the pronouncement of divorce that the husband made conditional on the photo being posted, there is detail and disagreement regarding it:

- If his intention was to make the divorce conditional on his seeing the photo, and he did not see it, then no divorce has occurred, and he may take you back.

- If his intention was to prevent you from posting the photo, regardless of whether he saw it, then divorce has occurred by your posting the photo, and the marriage between you ends. He cannot take you back unless you marry another man and are divorced from him.

- Some scholars do not consider a conditional divorce to be valid if its intent was merely a threat, and they consider it an oath for which an expiation for an oath (kaffarat ) is due.

- The final advice is to present the matter to a court or to trustworthy scholars.
