باب في الْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلاَثاً أَلَهَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ أَمْ لاَ:Chapter: Does a Thrice-Divorced Woman Have Maintenance and Housing?
Hadith 2311
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ: "أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَقَةً وَلَا سُكْنَى" . قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: لَا نَدَعُ كِتَابَ رَبِّنَا وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِ بِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ، فَجَعَلَ لَهَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyida Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) that her husband gave her three divorces, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not provide her with housing nor maintenance. Muslimah said: I mentioned this to Ibrahim, so he said: Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Shall we abandon the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of His Messenger because of what a woman says? No, so he prescribed housing and maintenance for a divorced woman.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2310)
Sukna: refers to a place to live, and Nafaqah: refers to the expenses for food and drink.
The meaning is that Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu said regarding a woman who has been divorced thrice (mutaallaqah thalathah) that her husband should provide her with a house and maintenance; after completing her waiting period (‘iddah), she will be free and will have no further connection with her husband.
Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu’s evidence for this was: «﴿وَلِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ مَتَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ﴾ [البقرة : 241]» and «﴿أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ﴾ [الطلاق : 6]», but this applies to a woman who has been given a revocable divorce (talaq raj‘i). For a woman who has been divorced three times, there is no maintenance (nafaqah) or residence (sukna) due to her; this is the correct view.
The details will follow.
