The woman taking half of the man's wealth upon divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a questioner from outside this country who says: In our country, the woman is given half of the man's wealth upon divorce. Is it permissible for the Muslim woman to take this wealth according to the Shari'ah?

Answer:
No, no, it is not permissible. It is not lawful for her to take his wealth without his own permission. If he gives it to her of his own free will, there is no harm. But if she takes half of his wealth based on the religion of the disbelievers and the ruling of the disbelievers, this is not permissible. This is injustice. If
Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one anotherدماءكم وأموالكم وأعراضكم عليكم حرام
Sahih al-Bukhari 1739
, this is not permissible.
