Summary
If the husband attaches the divorce to a condition intending to pronounce a divorce and the condition occurs, the divorce takes effect according to the sequence of divorces he has previously pronounced. If he only intended to threaten or express dislike, the divorce does not take effect, and under the opinion held by these scholars he must perform the expiation for oaths. If the conditioned matter had already happened and he knew it, the divorce takes effect immediately. If he wrongly assumed it had not yet happened and he only meant to frighten his wife, the divorce does not take effect.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika suami mentalakkan isteri secara ta'liq tanpa niat untuk menjatuhkan talak tetapi sekadar untuk mengugut atau menunjukkan rasa kebencian terhadap perkara yang dita'liqkannya itu, maka talak tersebut tidak jatuh.
