Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If the wife is divorced without a condition that she waives any of her rights, then she is entitled to her full mahr (dowry) – both the advanced and deferred portions – including the shabka (jewelry given at engagement) and the list of movables. She is also entitled to maintenance during the (waiting period) and mut'ah (compensatory gift) according to some scholars. However, if she is divorced in exchange for waiving some of her rights (such as the mahr or part of it), then she is entitled to all her other rights, with the exception of what she has waived.
