What is the ruling on a wife's maintenance (Nafaqah) if she ceases her disobedience (Nushuz) while the husband is present?

Chapter on the Condition in which Maintenance is Obligatory on the Husband

Al-Mughni

Book of Maintenance (Nafaqāt)

Book 46 · Issue 1 · Bab 2

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If a wife's maintenance obligation ceases due to her disobedience (Nushuz), her maintenance returns immediately upon her cessation of disobedience, provided the husband is present. This is because the cause that suspended the obligation has been removed, and the condition necessitating maintenance (the ability to be received by the husband) is re-established.
