The Occurrence of Explicit and Conditional Divorce

Question

A woman’s husband swore an oath of divorce if she entered her brother-in-law's house, but she had to sit in front of his house due to her mother-in-law's request. Her husband found out, called her, and divorced her over the phone. How many divorces occurred? Should she observe hijab in front of him since her family does not receive her, or what should she do?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: She is subjected to one or more pronouncements of divorce according to the number of divorces he has pronounced upon her. If it is a revocable divorce, she is not required to observe hijab. If it is an irrevocable divorce, she must observe hijab and isolate herself in a place where he cannot reach her. It is necessary to consult the mufti to confirm the specifics of the issue, and God knows best.
