Sahih Muslim 1480h (Book 18, Hadith 52) #10840
Divorce & Maintenance Allowance

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a woman who was divorced three times and was not given any maintenance allowance by her husband's family. She then went to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for help, and he allowed her to move out of her house and gave her permission to marry Usama b. Zaid.

'Ubaidullah b. 'Abdullah b. 'Utba reported that 'Amr b. Hafs b. al-Mughira set out along with 'Ali b. Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him) to the Yemen and sent to his wife the one pronouncement of divorce which was still left from the (irrevocable) divorce; and he commanded al-Harith b. Hisham and 'Ayyash b. Abu Rabi'a to give her maintenance allowance. They said to her: By Allah, there is no maintenance allowance for you, except in case you are pregnant. She came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and mentioned their opinion to him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you. Then she sought permission to move (to another place), and he (the Holy Prophet) permitted her. She said: Allah's Messenger, where (should I go)? He said: To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and, as he is blind, she could put off her garments in his presence and he would not see her. And when her 'Idda was over. Allah's Apostle ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid. Marwan (the governor of Medina) sent Qabisa b. Dhuwaib in order to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him, whereupon Marwan said: We have not heard this hadith but from a woman. We would adopt a safe (path) where we found the people. Fatima said that when these words of, Marwan were conveyed to her. There is between me and you the word of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: Do" not turn them out" of their houses. She asserted: This is in regard to the revocable divorce what new (turn can the event take) after three pronouncements (separation between irrevocable). Why do you say there is no maintenance allowance for her if she is not pregnant? Then on what ground do you restrain her?

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the issue of divorce and maintenance allowance in Islam. It tells us that if a woman is divorced three times irrevocably, she will not receive any maintenance allowance from her husband's family unless she is pregnant. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then allowed the woman in this hadith to move out of her house and gave permission for Usama bin Zaid to marry her after she completed the period of ‘Idda or waiting period after divorce as prescribed by Islamic law. This hadith teaches us that even though a woman may have been divorced multiple times irrevocably, she still has rights under Islamic law which must be respected by all parties involved in the situation. It also shows us how important it is for women’s rights to be protected under Islamic law as well as how important it is for men to provide financial support for their wives even after they are divorced from them according to Islamic teachings.
