The Maintenance of a Divorced Woman Who Has a Child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, if a divorced woman has a child with her, is she entitled to maintenance?

Answer:
Whether she is divorced with a final divorce or a revocable divorce: if it is a revocable divorce, she is entitled to maintenance because she is still in the state of marriage until the waiting period ends. But if it is a final divorce, she is not entitled to maintenance; rather, the maintenance is for the child.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
