Summary
The husband's pronouncement in this situation is not considered a complete conditional divorce that depends on a condition set by the husband. A final ruling can only be obtained after the case is heard in the nearest Syariah Court to establish whether the husband truly meant it that way. The answer also notes that thoughts that come to mind are subjective and hard to avoid entirely.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Lafaz talak tersebut tidak dianggap sebagai cerai taklik yang lengkap yang bergantung kepada sayaarat yang ditetapkan oleh suami.
