أَسۡكِنُوهُنَّ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجۡدِكُمۡ وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّۚ وَإِن كُنَّ أُوْلَٰتِ حَمۡلٖ فَأَنفِقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ فَإِنۡ أَرۡضَعۡنَ لَكُمۡ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأۡتَمِرُواْ بَيۡنَكُم بِمَعۡرُوفٖۖ وَإِن تَعَاسَرۡتُمۡ فَسَتُرۡضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخۡرَىٰ

6.Make the women to dwell,where you yourselves dwell according to your means [27], and do not harm them in order to pose hardship [28] to them. And if they are pregnant, give them maintenance, until they give birth (29). Then if they suckle (the child) for you give them their due (30) compensation, and enjoin (31) on one another (32) among you to be kind. And if you find it difficult, let another (woman) suckle (33) the child. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)
(6) Lodge them[1701] [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them.[1702] And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for him [i.e., the father] another woman.[1703] (Saheen International Translation)

27. From this, emerge two issues:
1. That during her period of waiting, the husband shall give the wife maintenance and a house to stay.
2. That he shall give her the house in accordance with his financial position. If he keeps her in his own house, then in the case of irrevocable divorce, he will not maintain privacy with her. Thus, "where they are staying" does not mean that you stay with her against the teachings of Islam. However, in the case of revocable Talaq, there is no need for privacy, because it is possible that the husband may go back to her.
28. This means during the period of waiting do not make life difficult for these women, which will force them to leave the homes. By 'hardship of home' is meant giving them homes that are narrow and dark, or to keep women with them who are cruel and oppressive and will make life unbearable for them.
29. Because the waiting period of a pregnant woman will be completed after delivery. It should be remembered that it is obligatory to give maintenance for the divorced woman until the completion of her period of waiting, whether she is pregnant or not. This is the verdict of Imam Abu Hanifa (May Allah be pleased with him).
30. A few issues emerge from this:
1. After the waiting period, the wife can take wages for breastfeeding her baby..
2. If after the waiting period the mother wants to breastfeed the baby, then the baby should not be given to another woman for this purpose.
3. The child belongs to the father and as such its complete maintenance is obligatory upon him, as is understood from 'for you'. It should be remembered that until the divorced woman has not married another person, she is entitled to keep the baby.
31. The parents of the child. This tells us that even after divorce, the mother should be consulted regarding the upbringing of the child because she is more attached to the child.
32. In that if the mother asks for more money for breastfeeding, the father should not be unwilling to pay.
33. From this we learn that if another mid-wife is charging less than the mother, the father can take her to breastfeed the child.
Ibn-Kathir
6. Lodge them where you dwell, according to what you have, and do not harm them so as to suppress them. And if they are pregnant, then spend on them till they lay down their burden. Then if they suckle the children for you, give them their due payment, and let each of you deal with each other in a mannerly way. But if you make difficulties for one another, then some other woman may suckle for him. 7. Let the rich man spend according to his means; and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. Allah will grant after hardship, ease.
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.”
Forbidding Ill-Treatment of Divorced Women
Allah’s statement,
﴿وَلاَ تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ﴾
(and do not harm them in order to suppress them.) Muqatil bin Hayyan said, “meaning, do not annoy her to force her to pay her way out nor expel her from your house.” Ath-Thawri said from Mansur, from Abu Ad-Duha:
﴿وَلاَ تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ﴾
(and do not harm them in order to suppress them) “He divorces her, and when a few days remain, he takes her back.”
The Irrevocable Divorced Pregnant Woman has the Right of Support (Maintenance) from Her Husband until She gives Birth
Allah said,
﴿وَإِن كُنَّ أُوْلَـتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنفِقُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّى يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ﴾
(And if they are pregnant, then spend on them till they lay down their burden.) This is about the woman who is irrevocably divorced. If she is pregnant, then she is to be spent on her until she lays down her burden. This is supported due to the fact that if she is revocably divorced, the she has then right to receive her support (maintenance) whether she is pregnant or not.
The Divorced Mother may take Compensation for suckling Her Child
Allah said,
﴿فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ﴾
(Then if they suckle them for you,) meaning, when pregnant women give birth and they are irrevocably divorced by the expiration of the `Iddah, then at that time they may either suckle the child or not. But that is only after she nourishes him with the milk, that is the early on milk which the infant’s well-being depends upon. Then, if she suckles, she has the right to compensation for it. She is allowed to enter into a contract with the father or his representative in return for whatever payment they agree to. This is why Allah the Exalted said,
﴿فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَـَاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ﴾
(Then if they suckle the children for you, give them their due payment,) Allah said,
﴿وَأْتَمِرُواْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ﴾
(and let each of you deal with each other in a mannerly way.) meaning, the affairs of the divorced couple should be managed in a just way without causing harm to either one of them, just as Allah the Exalted said in Surat Al-Baqarah,
﴿لاَ تُضَآرَّ وَلِدَةٌ بِوَلَدِهَا وَلاَ مَوْلُودٌ لَّهُ بِوَلَدِهِ﴾
(No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child, nor father on account of child.) (2:233) Allah said,
﴿وَإِن تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُ أُخْرَى﴾
(But if you make difficulties for one another, then some other woman may suckle for him.) meaning, if the divorced couple disagrees, because the woman asks for an unreasonable fee for suckling their child, and the father refuses to pay the amount or offers an unreasonable amount, he may find another woman to suckle his child. If the mother agrees to accept the amount that was to be paid to the woman who agreed to suckle the child, then she has more right to suckle her own child. Allah’s statement,
﴿لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِ﴾
(Let the rich man spend according to his means;) means, the wealthy father or his representative should spend on the child according to his means,
﴿وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَاهُ اللَّهُ لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْساً إِلاَّ مَآ ءَاتَاهَا﴾
(and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him.) This is as Allah said,
﴿لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا﴾
(Allah does not burden a person beyond what He can bear.) ﴿2:286﴾
A Story of a Woman who had Taqwa
Allah’s statement;
﴿سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْراً﴾
(Allah will grant after hardship, ease.) This is a sure promise from Him, and indeed, Allah’s promises are true and He never breaks them, This is an Allah’s saying;
﴿فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً – إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً ﴾
(Verily, along with every hardship is relief. Verily, along with every hardship is relief.) ﴿94:5-6﴾ There is a relevant Hadith that we should mention here. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, “A man and his wife from an earlier generation were poor. Once when the man came back from a journey, he went to his wife saying to her, while feeling hunger and fatigued, `Do you have anything to eat’ She said, `Yes, receive the good news of Allah’s provisions.’ He again said to her, `If you have anything to eat, bring it to me.’ She said, `Wait a little longer.’ She was awaiting Allah’s mercy. When the matter was prolonged, he said to her, `Get up and bring me whatever you have to eat, because I am real hungry and fatigued.’ She said, `I will. Soon I will open the oven’s cover, so do not be hasty.’ When he was busy and refrained from insisting for a while, she said to herself, `I should look in my oven.’ So she got up and looked in her oven and found it full of the meat of a lamb, and her mortar and pestle was full of seed grains; it was crushing the seeds on its own. So, she took out what was in the mortar and pestle, after shaking it to remove everything from inside, and also took the meat out that she found in the oven.” Abu Hurayrah added, “By He in Whose Hand is the life of Abu Al-Qasim (Prophet Muhammad )! This is the same statement that Muhammad said,
«لَوْ أَخَذَتْ مَا فِي رَحْيَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَنْفُضْهَا (لَطَحَنَتْهَا) إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَة»
(Had she taken out what was in her mortar and not emptied it fully by shaking it, it would have continued crushing the seeds until the Day of Resurrection.)”

(66:6) Believers, guard yourselves and your kindred against a Fire whose fuel is human beings and stones,[16] a Fire held in the charge of fierce and stern angels who never disobey what He has commanded them, and always do what they are bidden.[17]

(66:6) Believers, guard yourselves and your kindred against a Fire whose fuel is human beings and stones,[16] a Fire held in the charge of fierce and stern angels who never disobey what He has commanded them, and always do what they are bidden.[17]
16. This verse tells that a person’s responsibility is not confined to making effort to save himself from the punishment of God but it is also his responsibility that he should so educate and also train to the best of his ability members of his family to become Allah’s favorite servants, who have been entrusted to his care in the natural process of life; and if they might be following a path to Hell, he should try, as much as he can, to correct them. His concern should not only be that his children should lead a happy and prosperous life in the world but, more than that, he should be anxious to see that they do not become fuel of Hell in the Hereafter. According to a tradition reported in Bukhari by Abdullah bin Umar, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Each one of you is a herdsman and is accountable with regard to his herd. The ruler is a herdsman and is accountable with regard to his subjects. The man is a herdsman of his family and is accountable with regard to them. And the woman is a herdsman of her husband’s house and his children and is accountable with regard to them.
“Whose fuel…stone’ probably implies coal. Ibn Masud, Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir and Suddi say that this will be brimstone.
17. That is, they will enforce on every culprit precisely the same punishment which they will be commanded to enforce on him without making any alteration in it, or showing any pity for him.
(6) Lodge them[1701] [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them.[1702] And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for him [i.e., the father] another woman.[1703]
[1701]- During their waiting period (referring to wives whose divorce has been pronounced). [1702]- So that they would be forced to leave or to ransom themselves. [1703]- See 2:233.
