It is narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib was asked: If a woman is living in a rented house and her husband divorces her, who will pay the rent during the waiting period ('iddah)? Sa'id said: The husband will pay. He was asked: What if the husband does not have (the means)? Sa'id said: The wife will pay. He was asked: What if the wife also does not have (the means)? Sa'id said: The ruler will pay.
