Is it permissible to claim non-receipt of certain items in order to recover legal and other expenses incurred by the plaintiff due to arbitrary divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman is not permitted to lie to her husband or to deny what he has given her. If she does, she commits a sin and a reprehensible act that combines various Sharia transgressions, such as lying, betrayal, and consuming people's wealth unlawfully. As for legal costs, their ruling varies depending on the circumstances of the parties involved. If it is clear that you are entitled to what you paid the lawyers, then you have the right to demand that the husband be compelled to pay them, and courts usually oblige the aggressor to bear these costs.
