YOGYAKARTA One of the problems that trigger the emergence of Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan's divorce is a matter of inner income. Then what is inner income? What is the Islamic view of inner income?

In an article entitled Analysis of Islamic Law and Positive Law on Fulfillment of Non-Physical Marriage in Indonesian Workers' Families published in Asy-Syari ah: The Journal of Islamic Law is said that in Islam the livelihood in marriage is divided into two, namely material income and non-material (batin) income.

Material donations refer to material matters such as shelters or other things that require money. Meanwhile, non-material (batin) income covers various things, one of which is to take good care of your wife.

Similar, on the NU Online website, it is explained that inner income is one type of income that must be given from the husband to his wife. This is as explained by Sheikh Wahbah al-Zuhaily in the book al-Fiqh al-Islami wa Adillatuhu j. IX, h. 6832 which means as follows.

For wives there are several material rights in the form of dowries and livelihoods and non-material rights such as strengthening and good relations and being fair.

According to Rizal Darwis, MHI in his book entitled Nafkah Batin in Marriage Law, explains that the inner income that must be given by the husband and is the right of the wife includes equipping the wife well, taking care of the wife and visiting the wife well.

In Islam, an inner income in the form of fulfilling the biological needs of a husband to his wife needs to be given. Although the role of this biological need in Islam is a debate, there is an opinion stating that the biological fulfillment of a husband to his wife can be mandatory under certain conditions.

Regarding how many times a husband has given his wife sexual intercourse, there are many opinions that give advice. One of them is from ulama Ahmad bin Hanbal who said that husbands are required to have sex with their wives at least once in four months. However, Ahmad bin Hanbal also considered the willingness of his wife.

Apart from Ahmad bin Hanbal, other scholars have different opinions, namely al-Gazali. Instead, he requires biological fulfillment to his wife at least once in four days. However, these needs depend on both parties.

If the husband does not fulfill his inner income to his wife until a certain period, while the wife is not willing to receive this treatment, it makes him miserable, then the husband should know himself by two choices, namely immediately giving his wife the right to be sexually assaulted or release her well.

However, if the husband does not choose one of the two choices, the wife can sue for divorce through the judge.
