Is it Islamically permissible for a divorced woman to take the appliances and furniture that the husband bought at the time of marriage, especially if the wife was the one who provided the accommodation and the husband did not provide a marital apartment?
If a husband divorces his wife, she is entitled to her full mahr (dowry). She is also entitled to maintenance for the duration of her iddah (waiting period) if the divorce is revocable. He is also obliged to provide for his daughter according to what is customary. As for the furniture owned by the husband, the wife has no right to demand it unless it was part of her stipulated mahr. If the wife seeks a divorce because her husband married another woman, he has the right to refuse to divorce her unless she agrees to khul' (divorce at the wife's request, often involving the return of the mahr) in exchange for her mahr or a portion of it. It is advisable to be patient and not succumb to jealousy to avoid regret.
