Taking back clothing given to the wife after divorce
Question
A man bought abayahs for his wife and she never use it. Afterwards he divorces her.
Can he now give those abaayas to someone else or to his new wife?
Answer
If he bought the abayas for her and gave them to her, then they belong to her. It will not be permissible for him to take them away from her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
