The ruling on financial maintenance for the contracted wife before consummation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it obligatory for the husband to provide financial maintenance for his wife during the period she spends at her father's home while he is furnishing their new home—that is, during the period of ownership before the marriage—because my father says: Your husband must provide for you from the day of ownership, and this is obligatory upon him?
Answer:
This requires a detailed explanation: If he married her and said, “Leave her with you,” then he is obligated to provide her maintenance. However, if her family, or she herself, requested to remain with her family due to their needs, then he owes her no maintenance until she comes to him. But if he kept her with them for a benefit he saw, then he must provide her maintenance. Yes.
