Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a wife waives her right to financial maintenance during the marriage contract, and then later wants the maintenance, does she have the right to it?
Answer:
If she waived her maintenance at the time of the contract, she has no right to claim it afterward, because she waived it at the time of the contract. They agreed to it by mutual consent, did they not? So she has no right to claim the maintenance afterward. Yes.
