Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the financial maintenance not waived for the husband if his wife is wealthy and he is poor?
Answer:
No, her maintenance is his responsibility even if she is wealthy. If he has a salary, for example, at the highest grade, and he is a bed attendant, her maintenance is his responsibility, because it is in exchange for the enjoyment of the marital relationship.
