Is it obligatory to provide housing or compensate for the value of housing for a divorced wife who has a daughter, given that the father provides for the daughter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Housing is part of the obligatory maintenance from a father to his daughter. If she is still at the age of حضانة (custody/nurturing) and lives with her mother, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding the provision of housing for the custodian. The preponderant view is the obligation to provide housing for the custodian if she does not have her own dwelling.
