The maintenance allowance taken in the name of the divorced wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Nader from Tabuk, please, Nader. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, raise your voice, Nader, please. Can we ask something? Please go ahead. Peace be upon you, Shaykh. Shaykh, I married a girl from my relatives. Raise your voice, Nader. I say I married a girl from my relatives, but it did not work out and I did not enter upon her, and I divorced her. After the divorce, after the family card was issued by the Civil Affairs, there was a picture of the family card, so I applied for the maintenance allowance at work and they paid it to me. After a year, I married a new wife. Is the maintenance allowance that I took in the name of the divorced woman forbidden or permissible? And what should I do? Should I change the allowance to the name of the new woman or not? Thank you.
Answer:
My brother, this is lying. You take a maintenance allowance in the name of a woman you have divorced; this is lying, and it is not permissible for you to do this. So repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
