What is the ruling if a man divorces his wife before consummation after having taught her a Surah?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Dowry (Mahr)
Primary text
If a man divorces his wife before consummation after having taught her a Surah, he owes her half the fee for the teaching. This is because divorce before consummation mandates half the deferred dower (*mahr*), and this is analogized to the educational fee in this specific scenario.
