Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man divorced his wife in the presence of Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him), and Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Give her provision (mut'ah)." The woman said: "He is not obliged to give provision." Allah Almighty says: "And for divorced women is a provision according to what is reasonable, a duty upon the righteous" [Surah al-Baqarah: 241]. He is not one of them.
