Is the husband obligated to provide maintenance and everything the wife requests after her revocable divorce, with the iddah having expired and her having sworn on the Mushaf that the reconciliation was invalid, especially since the husband is unemployed and has no job?
If a husband claims to have taken his divorced wife back (reconciliation) after her waiting period () has ended, and his wife denies it, then the wife's word is accepted, by the consensus of jurists. If the dispute occurs during a time when the iddah could have ended or still be ongoing, and the husband claims reconciliation while the wife claims the iddah ended before the reconciliation, then this issue is a matter of scholarly disagreement among jurists. Among them is Ibn Qudamah, who elaborated on the different opinions and presented the varying views of Shafi'i's followers. As for the matter concerning the absence of virginity, there is no benefit in mentioning it now, and accusing someone's honor is a serious matter that requires conclusive proof.
