Am I entitled to claim financial compensation if I am arbitrarily divorced?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on seeking compensation for arbitrary divorce has been previously explained. Your leaving work for the sake of marriage was voluntary on your part, and therefore no compensation can be sought for it.
We advise you not to regret the loss of this marriage, for Allah Almighty says: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is evil for you. And Allah knows, while you know not." Ask Allah to replace it with something better for you, and turn to your Lord to grant you a good provision from Him, for the treasures of all things are with Him.
