The Occurrence of Divorce When a Condition Exists

Question

We have a household goods store, and my husband manages the store. He had an employee who argued with him at work and annoyed him, so he said to her: I do not want you to work in the store, and if you return, my wife will be divorced. However, he later reinstated her, and she returned to work in the store. What is the ruling?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: Divorce, if conditional, takes effect upon the fulfillment of that condition. In your case, the condition was met, so the divorce takes effect, and it is necessary to consult a mufti to confirm the situation. God knows best.
