It would be wonderful to see our ulama someday establish clear protective structures for women after divorce, going beyond the call for ihsan to include practical measures such as alimony and other forms of support.

“Your ancestors did not pass down millennia of oral storytelling legacy for you to call audiobooks cheating” I have never seen a meme / IG-quote be so pertinent
