Q
What role does returning a dowry or gift play in the Islamic divorce process?
A
The wife of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion, but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim)
may become unthankful for Allah’s Blessings.” On that, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to her), ‘Will you return
his garden to him?” She said, “Yes.” So she returned his garden to him and the Prophet (ﷺ) told him to
divorce her.
