Alimony Vs. Meher

[AbdiWahab252]

It is permissible to pay her meher if she takes you to court for alimony ? I think not because the only obligation is to her meher not a dime more unless she has your kids.

Scholars, please advise.

Seriously brother, you by now do hold 50 Ph.Ds in that department.

Both are required AbdiWahab252, now be careful of who you marry and don't make a blind leap of faith and jump into piranha-filled waters. They will eat your wallet up and clean out your bank account. Might not make it out alive.

Sister, I have a Doctorate in Duuniya but struggle with the hereafter. My question here is that can she have it both ways. Is it right she seek both ? If so, why did she accept a meher ?

I am one step ahead. Even the financial poison pill.

Avoid marrying in the West to prevent all future losses in case things go awry, I suggest marrying an African bride to ease financial burden.

PS: Islam doesn't require alimony persay, only reimbursement of the original meher amount in the nikaax and of course child support.

[AbdiWahab252]

Scholar Jax,

So does it mean that every dime of alimony will be considered haram ?

Abdiwahab, walaalo, you should have married me. I would never screw you over financially.
