Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a wife to waive some of her marital rights, such as waiving her financial maintenance, her right to be lodged with her husband, or other such rights?
The Shaykh:
What is it for? What is the purpose? Hm?
The questioner:
As mentioned.
The Shaykh:
Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) waived her right in favor of 'A'ishah on the condition that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not divorce her, because he intended to divorce her due to her advanced age. So she waived her right in favor of 'A'ishah on the condition that he would not divorce her and she would remain the wife of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to attain the honor thereby. Yes.
