The question

Is it obligatory to return two gold bracelets to the wife who left them in her husband's closet, which the husband's mother sold to cover legal fees after the husband was falsely accused of assault, knowing that the wife was disobedient (nashiz), and should they be returned at the price at the time of sale or at the current gold price?

The answer

The ruling concerning gold bracelets varies depending on the purpose for which they were given to the woman. If they were given as a loan for adornment, they remain the property of the mother, and she is entitled to reclaim them and dispose of them. However, if they were a gift and the woman took full possession of them, then they have become her property, and the mother is not permitted to reclaim them. She must repent and return the right to its owner. The same applies if they were part of the dowry. The fact that a woman is disobedient (nashiz) does not nullify her right to the bracelets.
