Making an exception in divorce

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) held that the exception (in sha Allah) is valid in divorce.

Ata, Tawus, Mujahid, al-Nakha'i and al-Zuhri said: If a man said to his wife, "If I do not do such-and-such, then, in sha Allah, you are divorced," his exception is taken into account.

Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are divorced, in sha' Allah (if Allah wills)," his exception is taken into account.

Al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) said the same.

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) and Iyas bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are divorced, in sha' Allah," the divorce takes effect.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man says to his wife, "You are divorced, in sha' Allah," the divorce takes effect, and his exception counts for nothing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man says to his wife, 'You are divorced, in sha' Allah,' she is not divorced. And if he says to his slave, 'You are free, in sha' Allah,' the slave becomes free."
