Transliteration:( Liyunfiq zoo sa'atim min sa'atih; wa man qudira 'alaihi rizquhoo falyunfiq mimmaaa aataahul laah; laa yukalliful laahu nafsan illaa maaa aataahaa; sa yaj'alul laahu ba'da'usriny yusraa )
"Let him who has abundance of means provide according to his means, and whoever has limited means of subsistence, let him provide from that which Allah has bestowed upon him. Allah does not burden any soul beyond what He has given it. Allah will bring ease after difficulty." (Kanzul Imaan Translation)
🔸 It is obligatory for the father to provide maintenance according to his financial position.
🔸 If the husband is wealthy and the wife is poor, the husband is required to pay maintenance according to his wealth during the waiting period.
🔸 Maintenance must be proportionate to the financial means of the husband.
🔸 For those with limited means, the husband is to pay maintenance according to what Allah has provided him.
🔸 If the husband is poor, the duty to maintain the child falls upon the mother, as the father’s financial obligation will be constrained by his means.
🔸 Allah does not burden anyone beyond what He has given them in terms of capabilities and resources.
🔸 The poor are not obliged to pay maintenance at the same level as the wealthy, ensuring that everyone is treated with fairness and in line with their capacity.
🔸 Do not despair if the means to fulfill obligations are limited; Allah will bring ease after difficulty.
🔸 A poor person should not lose hope in the mercy of Allah, as Allah may choose to make them wealthy in the future, in His own time.
The tafsir of Surah Talaq verse 7 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Talaq ayat 6 which provides the complete commentary from verse 6 through 7.
(66:7) (It will then be said): “Unbelievers, make no excuses today. You are being recompensed for nothing else but your deeds.”[18]
18. The style of both these verses contains a severe warning for the Muslims. In the first verse the Muslims have been addressed and told that they should save themselves and their households from the dreadful punishment. In the second that this will be said to the disbelievers while subjecting them to punishment in Hell. This by itself gives the meaning that the Muslims in the world should avoid adopting that conduct and behavior in consequence of which they may have to meet with the fate as the disbelievers in the Hereafter.
