Abstract
In line with international rules and standards that call for family members to be completely independent of each other, Islamic law and jurisprudence (Article 1118) also seek to strengthen family ties with tools. Among these tools and mechanisms is the obligation of alimony for women on men; Islam has attached special importance to giving women financial rights, including alimony. According to verses and hadiths, alimony is obligatory on men. In this regard, except for minor issues such as the cost of treatment, there is a consensus among jurists. Therefore, this right can be claimed and enforced and if a man refuses to pay the alimony, it can be claimed as a legal issue with execution guarantee. In this study, what is examined comparatively using a descriptive analytical approach is the presentation of a clear and obvious model of the effects of alimony payment in the existing Islamic denominations.
