In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful…<\/em><\/p>\n

The respected scholar of al-Madeenah, Aboo ‘Abdil-‘Azeez ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Abdillaah ibn Sulaymaan al-Jaabiree al-Hamdaanee<\/strong> (may Allah preserve him) was asked the following question:<\/p>\n

One of my relatives divorced his wife and left\u00a0his three\u00a0children with her, and then refused to spend on the children, assuming himself to be free of them. He has continued in this\u00a0way [of dealing with the matter], and he is still doing this now. What would you advise him with? May Allah reward you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The shaykh replied (may Allah bless and preserve him):<\/p>\n

Firstly, I admonish him to fear Allah. He\u00a0must spend on his children,\u00a0and He (Allah) has not given him this [right] (i.e. to neglect spending on his children).<\/p>\n

So convey to him my salaam, and that he is to repent to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and spend on his children, as nafaqah (financial maintenance) is a duty on him. If he complies, then all is well. Otherwise, the woman has a right to present her case to a court ruling by Shar’ (Islamic Law)\u00a0of his land. The judge ruling by Islamic Law would then decide that the children must be financially maintained.<\/p>\n

And if she is still in ‘eddah (post-divorce waiting),\u00a0while the divorce is revocable (i.e. the first or second divorce), then he (the judge) would also determine that she\u00a0must be financially maintained as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

May Allah aid our brothers and sisters going through separations, and may He make us and them fearful of Him, patient in upholding our duties, sincerely to Him, seeking His reward and pleasure.<\/p>\n
