What is the obligatory al-Nafaqah (financial support) for a divorced woman who has a non-nursing female child, taking into consideration the wife's previous employment and her assistance to her husband with household expenses, and that the husband's current salary is barely sufficient for his own personal expenses?

The obligatory expenditure a husband owes his divorced wife is maintenance during the waiting period ('iddah) or maintenance for pregnancy. However, after the 'iddah expires, she is not entitled to any maintenance. He is only obligated to provide for his daughter. As for a divorced, breastfeeding mother, she is entitled to a breastfeeding wage.

Whatever the wife spent on her husband, or on herself and her children, if it was a donation, then she has no right to reclaim it. But if it was a loan, she has the right to demand its repayment, and her word is accepted with her oath.
