If he says, “If I speak to you, then you are divorced—so take heed,” or says, “Move aside,” or, “Be quiet,” she is divorced. If he says, “If I begin speaking to you, then you are divorced,” and she says, “If I begin speaking to you, then my slave is free,” his oath is dissolved—unless he intended that he would not initiate speech with her in another sitting.

His statement: “If he says, ‘If I speak to you, then you are divorced—so take heed,’ or says, ‘Move aside,’ or, ‘Be quiet,’ she is divorced.” If he says, “If I speak to you, then you are divorced,” and then says, “Understand,” she is divorced. Likewise, if he says, “Move aside,” or, “Be quiet,” she is divorced, because he has spoken to her.

His statement: “If I begin speaking to you, then you are divorced; and she says, ‘If I begin speaking to you, then my slave is free,’ his oath is dissolved.” If he says this and then says, “Praise be to Allah,” then there is neither divorce nor emancipation, because he did not initiate speech with her, nor did she initiate speech with him.

His statement: “Unless he intended that he would not initiate speech with her in another sitting.” If he intended that, then the ruling is according to his intention.
