The answer

The maintenance (nafaqa) for the wife and children is estimated based on sufficiency, and in the case of the wife's maintenance, the financial status of both spouses is taken into account. The wife's employment does not affect her right to maintenance; the husband must provide for her even if she is wealthy, unless she willingly waives her right. In case of dispute, recourse can be made to the Sharia court.
