What is the ruling regarding the divorced nursing mother's expenses being borne by her husband, or the nursing woman who is not the mother, if she wishes to purchase things other than food, drink, and clothing?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the expenditure is wages for breastfeeding, then the breastfeeding mother may dispose of it as she wishes, because she owns it by virtue of the contract of hire.

And if the expenditure is due to a revocably divorced woman or an irrevocably divorced pregnant woman, then she may dispose of it as she wishes, including spending it on things other than food and drink, because she owns it upon receipt.
