Is the wife entitled, after divorce, to obtain the furnishings, apartment, and gold if she discovers that they were acquired with stolen money?
A woman has the right to take what is due to her from her husband, whether it be a dowry (mahr) or anything else, including money, gifts, and furniture stipulated in the marriage contract or customarily given.
It is not permissible for her to take her right if the husband is going to give it to her from stolen property, because by doing so, she would be taking what belongs to someone else and assisting her husband in not returning the right to its rightful owners. She has the right to demand her husband give her her due from non-stolen property, and the judge can compel him to do so.
However, if the husband is going to give her her due from his lawful money that is mixed with unlawful money, it is preferable for her to leave it. But if she takes it, there is no harm upon her, unless the proportion of unlawful money is greater than the lawful money.
