Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the supplication, it may be obligatory for the wife if the woman is unable to fulfill it.
The Shaykh : Regarding
The questioner : For the wife.
The Shaykh : For the husband, how?
The questioner : I mean, is the husband required to do so if the woman does not go out?
The Shaykh : If, yes, if it is not possible for them to remain together.
The questioner : Something, meaning it should not be an injustice to the husband, especially if the husband is a poor man who cannot replace her with another.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. He says, for example, he married her with a dowry of ten riyals, and now he finds only one hundred riyals. He says he will not divorce her. He said it was not given to you. Here is the problem. The problem is also that a person may not desire it. A person may not desire it. It is not a matter of increasing the dowry, and a person may have wives and children from her. But there is also the problem if this woman now says, "Either I separate from him or I will burn myself." Some women bring the situation to this point. Yes, this is the problem. Therefore, we say it is obligatory if the situation cannot be repaired. But if it can be repaired, even by spending some money or something like that, and the situation is fixed,
The questioner : He may sometimes want to marry her.
The Shaykh : He married her for ten riyals, and now he does not get anything but a hundred riyals. He says, "I will not divorce her," and she says, "You have not come to me." Here lies the problem. The issue is also that a person may not want to, or a person may not want to, and it is not a matter of increasing the mahr. A person may have other wives or children from her. But there is also the problem if this woman now says, "Either I leave you, or I will burn myself." Some women take the situation to this point. Yes, this is the problem. Therefore, we say it is obligatory if the situation cannot be fixed. But if it can be fixed, even by spending some money or something of that sort to fix the situation,
