Does a wife, divorced for the third time, deserve maintenance, and who has guardianship over adult daughters aged eighteen?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Custody of daughters at this age belongs to the father if he is qualified for it, and he is obligated to provide for them if they are poor, until they marry. A divorced mother who has been irrevocably divorced (bain) is not entitled to maintenance or housing. However, if the mother agrees to the daughters remaining with her, there is no harm in giving their expenses to her if she is trustworthy.
