Abstract

The present study explores and examines the views of Fiqh scholars regarding matters related to the wife’s alimony during the waiting period in cases of divorce or death, with particular emphasis on the methods of its payment. These opinions are then compared to the relevant articles in the Jordanian Marital Status Law to identify similarities and differences in relation to traditional Fiqh sources. To this end, a scientific approach is adopted to quote, document, discuss, and reconcile these perspectives. The study concludes that the law aligns with the priority and choice methods based on the principles and objectives of Sharia, as well as with the methodology used to derive laws from Fiqh sources.
