Hazrat Abu Zanad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) if a person is unable to provide maintenance for his wife, will he be compelled to divorce her or not? He replied that separation will be made between the two. I asked, is this Sunnah? He replied, yes, this is Sunnah.
