Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1512/1312=B/1429)

It is obligatory for the husband to provide maintenance to you until your iddah period is over. If he does not provide you and seemingly there is no other source to survive, then you can go out in daytime and work to earn your livelihood in order to survive, but you should not go anywhere at night.

Q. I issued one Talaaq-e-Bain to my wife called Shabana. After 6 months of this, I was going alone somewhere and was recalling the incidents that took place between us. I was very irritating and frustrated with her. Under such circumstances I uttered the following sentence thinking her. "Shadi karon to talaaq" Now I don't want to marry my ex-wife Shabana but want to marry another woman. Keeping in view my above scenario if I marry any other woman, will she also be divorced with one Talaaq or only Shabana (ex-wife) will be divorced upon marrying her. 1409 views

Q. Respected Maulana Assalamualiakum Wa rahamatullahi barkatahu I got married on October 12 2008. We were having regular misunderstanding. And on February 1 2009 she went to her home asking me to give her talaq. I did not have any intentions of giving her talaq. But later after 6 months my wife came back with her parents and conveyed to me that she will not quarrel with me any more. But the very next day she started all over again. Which impacted me to say her "I will give you talaq, 'Talaq' you are free now do whatever you want", Please let me know what talaq I am in. I want to continue my life with her. Please provide me with a solution. Allah know better Thanks in advance Regards! 1355 views

Q. Almost three months back my self and my wife we were staying alone in Bahrian just before ramadan we both had a big fight and that time she was in her monthly cycle infact the matter was out of hands and we beat each other and in anger she first gave Talaq to me by taking Allah as Gawah to which i have called her parents in India and inform the same and called my family as well and was talking to them during that time as well she was still shouting at me and using bad language and that time I was too at the highest level of my anger and really out of my mind which I never encountered in my life till date. While I was still on phone talking to my mummy and Bahbi and she abusing me and during that time also i was out of control and immense anger have said that I take you (bhabi) as gawah and divorce her (thrice) which I even doesn't recollect that have given once or thrice and my bhabi says that I said it thrice. After 3 days she went to India and since then she is staying at her house and not in my house and both of us are not in physical contact since then but we talk once in a while. but since that day have not talked abt divorce at all nor she remembers the incident as she has not inform her parents about it as well. My question to you sir is does my Talaq counts or not under this conditions. as I am confused have ref to the Sahi Bukhari Sahrif and in that it is clear mentioned that under these circumstance (she in her Monthly Cycle) doesn?t count. even if I gave her once or thousand times. And secondly if your really out of our mind and pronounced divorce thrice does it counts. Can you please guide me. 1465 views
Q. As-salam-allayakum, My sister got married a year back. My brother-in-law is asking her to take Khula, whereas we want to keep the marriage. Following are the issues in marriage; 1) My brother-in-law has Pre-mature ejaculation and erectyle dysfunction. He also have performance anxiety, He is in mid 40's age. Rather than accepting this as problem and getting treated for it, he straightaway blamed my sister and now is asking that she takes khula as he is unable to enjoy sexual marriage life. My sister got checked by doctor and she doesn't have any problem. 2) My brother-in-law family was pressuring our family to get their uneducated daughter married to my brother who is younger to their daughter, this was no match and there was no agreement between our two families before or on my sister marriage. They kept on pressurising us for almost 6 months and now my brother is married, they are saying that everything is over. 3) My sister is not treated very well and her husband doesn't talk to her or support her. he also don't support her financially, infact always eyes for her salary. She is living with us and has only stayed with her husband for 35-40 days in one full year. Whenever She wants to go to her husband house, she is questioned why she has come and he (my brother-in-law) tell her come only when he calls her (which he never does). Please give us fatwa, in this condition what should we do? As my sister want to keep marriage and my brother-in-law wants she should take khula. Also, what are the rights of my sister, if she takes khula, does she get backs her jewellery, salary etc? Allah Hafiz 1723 views

Q. ASLK ,My brother divorced his wife some 2 years ago because his Wife Committed a Zina (illicit relationship. The local Kazi issued a Fatwa stating that husband returns back the meher, gifts and also the ruling said that the elder son who is 8 years old to stay with father and the daughter who is 6 years old to be with mother. But my brother refused this fatwa, but as per shariaah he returned back the meher (land worth around 5 lakhs) but he refused to give his daughter as well the jewel which he gifted to his wife. He said that he will give his jewels to his daugher and also said that he will not allow his daughter to grow in an atmosphere where his wife and her family character , morality is not good and conducive for child's growth. Which i feel he is 100% correct. Could you please advise me on this matter? Allah hafiz 1585 views

Q. I was engaged to Mushtaq Ahmad Shah and the Nikah was performed on 04-03-2004. However the marriage ceremony (on which zafaf/ Rukhsati that takes place as per custom) has not taken place till today because of the rude, cruel and inhumane behaviour of the to be husband (Mushtaq Ahmad Shah). On 18-05-04 he came to our house, beated and tortuted me mercilessly.Since then this dispute has started.On 11-08-2004 he came to the University and misbehaved with me in front of the students and teacher thus humiliating me. Keeping his treatment in view even before the actual marriage (Rukhsati etc), I along with my parents feel that this union will not be of any happiness rather will be full of miseries and problems. Also I fear that I will not be able to obey him properly and indulge in gunah. I approached directly and indirectly (through various Islamic Institutions i.e, Darul Uloom) to him for talaaq/khulah so that I would get free from his clutches. However he is neither giving talaaq nor compromising for khulah. Instead he threatens that he will neither give talaq nor khulah till life. Due to his bad and mischievious treatment, he has not only hurt me physically but also mentally/psychologically and undoubtedly it is not possible for me to live a happy and peaceful married life with him in future. As such it is requested please guide me in the light of Shariah regarding following point. 1. What I can do if that rude and rough person is not ready to give talaaq nor is compromising for khulah. 2. Under such conditions, what action can I take to get rid of him. What are the various options and implications? 3. It may be noted that presently I am doing PhD at University of Kashmir and am of the age 32 years and am wholly and solely dependent on my aged parents. I have no personal income or assets. (It may be mentioned that Mushtaq Ahmad Shah is not responding to the various Darul Fatwas directives. As such it is requested under such conditions what are the ways for legal separation from him according to Shariat Laws.) 1328 views
