Asalamualaikum , hope you are well and may Allah reward you, I’ve really needed your help and have been suffering for so long I’m sorry for being long but if you can please help me out inshallah 1-My main question regarding the conditional is I follow the view of ibn taymiyyah The fact that he says it’s based on intention if it’s to encourage and threaten then it doesn’t count as divorce and I’ve seen scholars say you can take opinions from other scholars in waswasah/ necessity as a hanafi is this as a hanafi is allowed ? theres a few scenarios I want you to put me in peace in writing, I already went on a molvi for shariah council but I just wanted to clarify on writing so im mentioning the full story, here are a few things said:I had no intention for any I just wanted to talk to her or just wanted her to listen to me , I never intended divorce 2-I said to my wife: “Come here or you are divorced” She came I think after a small hesitation and then walked away. I feel like she came instantly but Im not sure. Im worried as I never said for her to keep on walking with me once she comes next to me but I did want that but she walked away after fulfilling. Please clarify regarding the fact she didn’t keep walking ? 3-In the first situation, I am not sure if I also said “right now.” If I did say that and she came after a short hesitation, is that nothing to worry about please can you answer this hypothetically? 4-I said: “Give me your phone password or you are divorced.” She refused/ kept hesitating at first, but then gave it after I kept reminding within 5-15 minutes. Closer to 5, i just wanted to phone passwoed in that day I think specifically thought within today I only wanted the password, not divorce and not really a time frame . Does the fact she hesitated and refused for a while do anything? 4. I dont actually remember this but Im not sure but My wife says (although shes not even fully sure) that I once said: “Come down right now or you are divorced.”She says she went on her phone first, then came down. I remember she came down when I asked within a reasonable time according to me and I didnt worry or be scared , but im scared as she told me she went on her phone If I did say this, would that be a divorce? I never ever said anything or thought about her going on her phone I just wanted her to come downstairs and she came like a normal time. Please May you answer hypothetically regarding the fact she went on her phone? 5. I think I might have said: “Open the gate or you are divorced.” But I honestly dont remember if I said this, or if she even opened the gate. Does this count as divorce? She said she opened the gate and again I dont think shes even sure if I said it, just please May you answer me hypothetically. 6. There was CCTV in that place on the gate, and I once tried to get the footage to check If she opened the gate, but the establishment they didn’t give it to me. The incident happened over a year ago and I tried to get the footage over a year ago and since then we have moved properties in the same town Should I try harder to get it, or should I stop worrying about it? Thank you for answering MaybAllah give you the highest reward, this was all extremely stupid things from years ago which I never done ever again.

Talaq hasn’t taken place in all the scenarios mentioned as they are threat and promise. Any Talaq given in these circumstances will have no affect.
