The question

Is the wife entitled to receive the deferred Mahr, the 'iddah (post-divorce waiting period) maintenance, the mut'ah (consolatory gift) maintenance, and the list of movables – including the value of the Shabka (bridal gift, usually gold) and the cash amount received to contribute to the purchase of an apartment – if a divorce case for harm transforms into a Khul' (divorce at the wife's instance, often with compensation) or a divorce at her own will?

The answer

If the judge divorces a woman due to harm (darar), she is entitled to all her financial rights, including the immediate and deferred dowry (sadaq), and the maintenance during the waiting period (). This also includes the value of the movable property list agreed upon as part of the dowry. However, if the woman requests a divorce or annulment (khul) without harm, the husband may stipulate the forfeiture of some of her rights in exchange for the divorce or annulment.
