Taking back clothing given to the wife after divorce

· 3 Muharram 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A man bought abayahs for his wife and she never use it. Afterwards he divorces her.

Can he now give those abaayas to someone else or to his new wife?

Answer

If he bought the abayas for her and gave them to her, then they belong to her. It will not be permissible for him to take them away from her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
