The ruling on a man taking his wife's mahr and her clothes after her divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner also asks, among his questions, Your Eminence the Shaykh: A man divorced his wife, and after she fell ill, he took from her everything he had given her as mahr, clothes, and other things. Is it permissible for her to file a lawsuit against him or not? And does he have the right to do this, which is taking the gold and clothes from this woman while she is sick?
Answer:
This is a matter of dispute. She must refer to the court, unless it is facilitated that some people of goodness can reconcile them in this matter. Otherwise, the reference is the court in this case so that it can look into his and her situation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
