Iddat

Q: Unfortunately I am in the process of separating from my wife and she will be commencing Iddat soon.

She has decided to stay at her parents' home during her Iddat and her family have asked me to pay for her cost of living during this time, she has told me to decide on the figure I should pay to her after consulting with a scholar.

I have returned all of her clothes to her from our matrimonial home.

I understand that the usual responsibilities I should pay for her are shelter, food and clothing. (She will be spending the time at her parents' house, and has her clothing).

Please advise on what the monetary total I should be paying her is as I am unable to calculate an exact amount.

I am unsure if this has any bearing on the Mas'alah but for clarity, the decision to separate was made by my wife (although she did not ask for khula). She has been living at her parents' house since January and I have not seen her since. The decision to spend Iddat at her parents' home was also made by herself.

Q: In iddat, can we change a rental house because of expenses?

Q: Please tell me if a woman's husband has given her one talaaq, does she have the right to stay with her husband?

Q: My husband gave me first talaaq in 2015 and after 2 months he took me back. Now he is saying he will give me second talaaq. I need to know when will my iddat period start?

Q: My father passed away a month ago. Can my mother use hair dye on her hair while she is in iddat? 

Q: My husband has given me divorce in writing. He isn't giving me any maintenance. I have to work to support my son. What are the rules for iddah:

1. Can I work in the daytime?

2. What about other rules of iddah?

3. My husband says that he now regrets. Can he remarry in iddah/after iddah? Please give the procedure.

Q: My husband has given me papers... He wrote I divorce you Talak Talak Talak... then in one line again I divorce you... How many divorces does it count?

He isn't giving any money... Can I work in a school during iddah as we were separated since a year?

Q: My father in law passed away recently. My mother in law is around 65 years old. I would like to bring her to Saudi Arabia from Pakistan so that her daughter, who is my wife can take care of her. The iddat period is 4 months 10 days. Can we break this iddat by paying kaffarah?

Q: My husband gave me divorce on 20 May 2018. I came back to my parents house and completed my iddat period. As he wasn't doing any paper work and was forcing me to come back to him. I decided to make the papers by getting khula. I got khula on 6 April 2019.

Now my question is, after getting the khula papers, do I have to offer my iddat again or is it done since I already sat in iddat? 

Q: I've just got a divorce. Me and my ex have been living separately for the past 2 years but he refused to give me a divorce. He gave me the divorce yesterday. I know I need to sit in iddat, but I wanted to ask if there's any rules on work. I have about £800 expenses a month. I live with my parents but I do not think they can pay my expenses for the next three months. I work at an office full time and also have a part time job as a care assistant which requires travelling from house to house. I'm not too sure what to do and if I'm still allowed to work or not. Please help me out.
