The answer

The mother has the right to custody of her daughter and to demand from the father her maintenance and necessities until she marries. However, there is no obligation for the divorced mother's maintenance during the waiting period (iddah) due to the dissolution of the marriage by apostasy. She has the right to demand what the father gifted her if she took possession of it, because a gift becomes ownership upon acceptance.
