Is the husband obliged to provide maintenance for three months to his divorced wife, given that the husband's madhhab is Shafi'i and the judge's madhhab is Maliki, and that the wife does not conceive and does not menstruate except after taking doses of medication, and she has taken everything the husband gifted her?

The revocable divorcee is entitled to maintenance and housing according to all madhhabs, and there is no known disagreement on this matter. She is like a wife in the obligation of maintenance and clothing. As for what was gifted to her, it becomes her property upon receipt, and it is not permissible to revoke it.
