4773 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:
"إِذَا طَلَّقَ اَلرَّجُلُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَهْرِهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّى لَهَا مَهْراً فَ "مَتٰاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ".. "عَلَى اَلْمُوسِعِ قَدَرُهُ وَ عَلَى اَلْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهُ"
وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا عِدَّةٌ تَتَزَوَّجُ مَنْ شَاءَتْ مِنْ سَاعَتِهَا ".
Hadith.4773 - Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl narrated from Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said:
"If a man divorces his wife before consummating the marriage, she is entitled to half of her dowry. However, if he had not specified a dowry for her, then 'provision must be made for her in a fair manner', 'according to the means of the wealthy and according to the means of the poor.'
She does not have to observe any waiting period (iddah) and may marry whomever she wishes immediately."
4774 - وَ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :
فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمٰا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهٰا فَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ وَ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ سَرٰاحاً جَمِيلاً
قَالَ "مَتِّعُوهُنَّ أَيْ جَمِّلُوهُنَّ بِمَا قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَعْرُوفٍ فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَرْجِعْنَ بِكَآبَةٍ وَ وَحْشَةٍ وَ هَمٍّ عَظِيمٍ وَ شَمَاتَةٍ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي وَ يُحِبُّ أَهْلَ اَلْحَيَاءِ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ أَشَدُّكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لِحَلاَئِلِهِمْ".
Hadith.4774 - Amr ibn Shimr narrated from Jabir, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty:
"Then if you divorce them before you have touched them, there is no waiting period (iddah) for you to count against them. So provide for them and release them in a gracious manner." (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:49)
Imam (as) said: "Provide for them," meaning adorn them with whatever you are able to from kindness, for they return with sorrow, loneliness, great grief, and become a subject of gloating for their enemies. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Almighty, is generous, feels shy, and loves those who possess modesty. The most honorable among you is the one who honors his wives the most.
4775 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ : "أَنَّ مُتْعَةَ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ فَرِيضَةٌ".

"The mut'ah (compensatory gift) for a divorced woman is an obligation (faridah)."
4776 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ اَلْغَنِيَّ يُمَتِّعُ بِدَارٍ أَوْ خَادِمٍ وَ اَلْوَسَطَ يُمَتِّعُ بِثَوْبٍ وَ اَلْفَقِيرَ بِدِرْهَمٍ أَوْ خَاتَمٍ".
Hadith.4776 - It is narrated: "The wealthy man should provide a house or a servant as a parting gift, the middle-income man should provide clothing, and the poor man should provide a silver coin or a ring."
4777 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ أَدْنَاهُ اَلْخِمَارُ وَ شِبْهُهُ".
Hadith.4777 - It is narrated: "The minimum (parting gift) is a headscarf or something similar to it."
4778 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ وَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَ سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
وَ إِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَ قَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مٰا فَرَضْتُمْ إِلاّٰ أَنْ يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا اَلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ اَلنِّكٰاحِ
قَالَ "هُوَ اَلْأَبُ أَوِ اَلْأَخُ أَوِ اَلرَّجُلُ يُوصَى إِلَيْهِ وَ اَلَّذِي يَجُوزُ أَمْرُهُ فِي مَالِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ فَيَبْتَاعُ لَهَا وَ يَتَّجِرُ فَإِذَا عَفَا فَقَدْ جَازَ".
Hadith.4778 - Al-Halabi, Abu Basir, and Sama'ah narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Exalted:
"And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified a dowry for them, then half of what you have specified must be paid, unless they forgo it or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract forgoes it" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:237).
Imam (as) said: "It refers to the father, the brother, or the man who is entrusted with her affairs and whose authority over the woman's wealth is accepted, as he buys and trades for her. So, if he waives it, it becomes valid."
