Does the noble verse, "Indeed, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment," apply to a person who conceals the wife's rights and does not refer to the Prophet's guidance on good treatment, due to the existence of a commercial relationship that would harm him if he were to do justice to his wife?
It is not possible to determine whether the verse applies to a person who withheld information without knowing the details of what transpired between the spouses and what was presented to him, because some religious individuals may not possess sufficient jurisprudential knowledge. Therefore, one should refer to a qualified jurist. The one answering must fear Allah and clarify the truth that conforms to the Qur’an and Sunnah with a correct understanding.
