Saudi Court Orders Husband to pay SR 445,000 to the ex-wife after divorce


Image result for Islam is a beautiful and a complete religion, along with complete laws and rules for every aspect of life. Hence, it is quite easy to pass a judgment in accordance with the Islamic law. In Saudi Arab the Sharia Law is practiced and observed, so the courts are quick and responsive and provide justice.  Divorce is a very unfortunate event after marriage. The separation between the parents makes the kids suffer the most and affects them both physically and mentally for both the parents have their duties to fulfill raising and grooming the kid.  One such case was filed in the Court of Buraidah, a city in the Province Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The ex-wife filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband claiming for financial support for her child as the father had been neglecting their financial needs.  The judge ruled out in the favor of the mother stating that it was the father’s duty to provide them both with financial support even after divorce until the kid grows up to some age. He made the man to compensate his past and future dues.  The man was ordered to pay a total amount of SR 445,000. He has to pay SR 270,000 for his past negligence. He was made to pay SR 1,000 per month to support his child for the next coming year. He was also asked to pay SR 30,000 annually to cover the expenses for the family need.  He was also ordered to cover the travel expense of the family. The father was ordered to comply within five days and if he fails to obey the court order, the judge will place a travel ban and will block all government services to him.  No doubt, maintenance of children is obligatory upon the father. It is father’s duty to fund his children after separation and the mother’s duty is to raise her children in proper manners whatever the situation is.  Even if the mother is breastfeeding the child after separation, our religion orders the man to pay and look after his ex-wife needs for feeding his child.

Stretching Feet Facing the Kabah: Allowed?

Q uestions: As-salamu `alaykum. Is it wrong to sit or sleep with your feet facing the east or facing the Kabah A nswer: In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: If a person is sitting stretching his feet towards the direction of the Kabah with the specific intention of showing disrespect, then that is definitely considered a blasphemous act and a grave sin, for at all times we are ordered to respect the symbols of Allah. The Kabah, being the House of Allah, is worthy of utmost reverence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Allah! Enhance the honor, status and awe of this House in the minds of those who visit or go around it.” Allah says, “Whosoever respects the symbols of Allah, he does so only by virtue of the piety embedded in their hearts.”(Al-Hajj 22:32) Having said this, however, I should further state: If a person does no...

Why do Dogs start Barking (Howling) at the time of Azan ?

Q uestions: Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I’ve noticed very often. A nswer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see.

In Sahih Al Jamie’, following the above Hadith is stated: ..’And reduce going out when it is quiet( when everybody is indoors at night time) as Allah diffuses by night what He wishes among His Creation, and lock your doors and mention the Name of Allah on them as ...
