\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the scenario of a divorce, generally by law here in the States, the husband and wife share half of all the assets.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs this permissible in the light of Shariah?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the above incident, it will only be permissible for the husband and wife to equally share assets if the husband is pleased with the distribution. It will be considered as a Sadaqa or a gift, according to his intention.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the wife uses the western legal system\/courts to force the husband to share more than what she deserves Islamically, then she will be considered as a Gaasib (usurper) and the additional wealth would be haram for her to benefit from. The Shariah does not allow anyone to take possession of another’s wealth without a valid Islamic reason.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAll that the wife deserves after divorce will be her usual expenses in terms of accommodation, food and clothing during her Iddat (waiting) period. Anything additional will be considered as Ihsaan (kindness) from the husband.[2]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMay Allah guide us to adhere to his commands. Ameen.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
