فإن التعليق منع انعقاد التصرف علة قبل وجود الشرط
Suspension prevents the act from constituting an immediately operative legal cause before the condition occurs.
When a performative legal utterance is suspended on a future event, the legal effect does not simply arise at the time the words are spoken. The existence of a conditional undertaking and the present operation of the intended ruling are distinct.
For example, a conditional divorce pronouncement does not, in this doctrinal example, necessarily effect divorce immediately before the stipulated event occurs. Its effect must be considered when the condition is fulfilled.
