What is the ruling on maintenance if a wife enters the state of Ihram for obligatory Hajj or Umrah at the prescribed time and place (Miquat)?
Chapter on the Condition in which Maintenance is Obligatory on the Husband
Al-Mughni
Book of Maintenance (Nafaqāt)
Primary text
She is entitled to maintenance because she performed an obligation incumbent upon her by the fundamental law at its proper time, and thus her maintenance is not voided, similar to one fasting Ramadan.
Supporting text
If she performs the Ihram earlier than the Miquat or before the prescribed time, the ruling for one entering Ihram for voluntary Hajj applies, as she has prevented him from access concerning something that was not immediately necessary.
