Is the wife entitled, Islamically, to obtain the entire list of movables after her divorce in consideration of her release from any claims (al-ibra'), based on her request and insistence, while the husband wishes to give her only what her father bought?
Disputed matters between spouses should be referred to the judiciary or to an arbiter mutually agreed upon by the couple, as remote fatwas are not effective in such cases. If a woman requests divorce and her husband divorces her without stipulating the forfeiture of any of her rights, then she is entitled to all the rights of a divorced woman, including both types of dowry, the complete list of movables, maintenance during the iddah (waiting period), and compensatory gift (mut'ah) according to some scholars. However, if the husband stipulates the forfeiture of some of her rights in exchange for divorce and she agrees, then only what they have agreed upon is forfeited.
