Question:
He says: I have a brother who is wealthy and used to give me money, but I found that he was doing it out of condescension, so I said, "Your money is haram (forbidden) to me, or your money is haram," and I pronounced a divorce saying, "I will not take anything from him." I am now in need, so what is the ruling? Do I take it?
Answer:
The problem is the divorce. Even if he had sworn by Allah that he would not take anything from him, we would say it is a sin requiring the expiation for a broken oath, and he should take it. But this divorce requires him to go to the court.
