A detailed explanation regarding the maintenance of a woman divorced with a revocable divorce, an irrevocable divorce, or whose husband has died.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : That is, if the divorced woman is in a revocable divorce, she is entitled to maintenance because she is still a wife, as Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:
And their husbands have more right to take them back وبعولتهن أحق بردهن
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
Thus, Allah named the revocable divorce, naming the woman divorced with a revocable divorce a wife, so her maintenance is obligatory in all circumstances, whether she is pregnant or not. As for the woman observing the waiting period due to her husband's death, she is not entitled to maintenance in any case, whether she is pregnant or not. However, if she is pregnant, she is entitled to maintenance from her child's share of the inheritance, and if she is not pregnant, her maintenance is her own responsibility. As for the woman divorced with an irrevocable divorce, separated from her husband during his lifetime with a final separation, if she is pregnant, she is entitled to maintenance from her husband, and if she is not pregnant, she is not entitled to maintenance. So, how many categories are there, Ya Firas? Abdullah, Abdullah ibn Awad.
