Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah At-Talaaq -> The Divorced Woman has the Right to Decent Accommodations, and what is Reasonable |
Allah the Exalted orders His faithful servants that when one of them divorces his wife, he should provide housing for her until the end of her `Iddah period, ﴿أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم﴾ (Lodge them where you dwell,) means, with you, ﴿مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ﴾ (according to what you have,) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and several others said, it refers to "Your ability.'' Qatadah said, "If you can only afford to accommodate her in a corner of your house, then do so.''
