Question:
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
If someone says to his wife in order to threaten her with these exact words, "if you work at that place, I guarantee you it will break our relationship". I said it to emphasis my dislike with her working in that place and threaten her, but whether I would actually have given a divorce if she did end up working at that place, I wasn't 100% sure.
Would it constitute a divorce if she works in that place? if it does what kind of divorce.
Also with Talaaq e Bain, is there an iddah, and do you have to wait for that iddah to remarry or can you marry immediately if you want to take the wife back?
Answer:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

- If you intended with those words ṭalāq, then it will be binding if she fulfilled the condition stipulated, it will be considered one ṭalāq bā’in.[1] If you did not intend ṭalāq, then it is not binding.
- You can re-marry your wife within the ʿiddah period if you have given a ṭalāq bā’in.[2]
Only Allah SWT alone knows best.
