A man has a divorced sister who receives a salary from the state, and she is well-off, and a dispute arose between her and her two brothers, so she filed a lawsuit in the court demanding their financial maintenance.

The questioner : I have a divorced sister who receives a salary from the government, like other divorced women, and she is in a better financial situation than we, her male siblings, are. She lives with us in the house, and a quarrel occurred between us and her, so she became angry with us and filed a lawsuit against us in the court, demanding her right to financial maintenance from us in the form of a monthly payment. Does she have the right to this or not?

The Shaykh : As long as this woman has taken the matter to the court, you should proceed according to what the court rules, and in that lies good, if Allah wills.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
