by the stipulation. A third [divorce] does not occur, because the second did not occur by his initiating it after the establishment of the stipulation; because his saying: "Whenever I divorce you," necessitates whenever I inflict divorce upon you. This necessitates the renewal of initiating a divorce after this statement, while the second [divorce] occurred by this very statement. If he says to her after the establishment of the stipulation: "If you go out, you are divorced." If she goes out, she is divorced by her going out by one, and by the stipulation another; because he has divorced her, but the third [divorce] does not occur. If he says to her: "Whenever I inflict a divorce upon you, you are divorced," it is in the position of his saying: "Whenever I divorce you, you are divorced." The Qadi mentioned regarding this that if a divorce of his occurs upon her by a stipulation he established after his saying: "If I inflict a divorce upon you, you are divorced," she is not divorced; because that is not an infliction of divorce by him. This is the opinion of some of the Shafi'i companions. In this there is scrutiny, for he has indeed inflicted divorce upon her with a condition, so when the condition is met, he is the one inflicting the divorce upon her, so there is no difference between this and his saying: "If I divorce you, you are divorced." If he says: "Whenever my divorce falls upon you, you are divorced." Then a divorce falls upon her by the immediate act, or by a stipulation he established before or after that, she is divorced three times. If he says to her: "If you go out, you are divorced." Then he says: "Whenever my divorce falls upon you, you are divorced." Then she goes out, a divorce falls upon her by her going out, then the second falls by the occurrence of the first, then the third falls by the occurrence of the second; because "whenever" (kullama) necessitates repetition, and he has established the stipulation upon the occurrence of divorce, so however it occurs, it necessitates the occurrence of another. If he says to her: "If I divorce you, you are divorced," then says: "If my divorce falls upon you, you are divorced." Then he says: "You are divorced." She is divorced three times; one by the immediate act, and two by the two stipulations; because his divorcing her includes the two stipulations; it is a divorce from him, and it is the occurrence of his divorce, and because when he says: "You are divorced," she is divorced by the immediate act by one, then the second occurs by the fact that he divorced her, and that is a divorce from him occurring upon her, so the third occurs by it. This is all in the case of one with whom consummation has taken place. As for one with whom consummation has not taken place, she is not divorced except by one in all of this. This is all the school of al-Shafi'i and the People of Reason (Ahl al-Ra'y), and we know of no disagreement in it.
