3. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following
“About the case of a man who divorces his wife before going to bed with her, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. ‘He owes to her one-half of mahr (dower) if he has set something for her; but if he has not set anything for her he must benefit her like the benefits that similar women receive. 5 The words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, say, ‘. . . or it is waived by the one who has authority in the matters of marriage. . .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Of such people is father, or a brother or the executor of the will or a man who is authorized in dealing with the assets of the woman to buy for her and he buys if he waves, it then is effective. 555
عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام )
فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ عَلَيْهِ نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا شَيْئاً وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا فَلْيُمَتِّعْهَا عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا يُمَتَّعُ مِثْلُهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِقَالَ وَ قَالَ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ النِّكاحِ قَالَ هُوَ الْأَبُ وَ الْأَخُ وَ الرَّجُلُ يُوصَى إِلَيْهِ وَ الرَّجُلُ يَجُوزُ أَمْرُهُ فِي مَالِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَيَبِيعُ لَهَا وَ يَشْتَرِي لَهَا فَإِذَا عَفَا فَقَدْ جَازَ .
