Does the alimony decision remain in effect after the court rules to confirm an irrevocable divorce, if a request to stop the previously decreed alimony was not made?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman who is revocably divorced is entitled to financial support (nafaqa) as long as she is in her waiting period (idda), unless she is disobedient (nashiz). As for a woman who is irrevocably divorced (ba'in) or divorced before consummation, she is not entitled to financial support or lodging, unless she is pregnant. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to compel her husband to provide financial support if she is disobedient, or irrevocably divorced, or revocably divorced and her waiting period has ended.
