«يِسَاعْدَكْ عَ الطَّلَاقْ مِنْ لَا يُحُطِّ الْحَق»

The saying pictures a man urged toward divorce by someone who bears none of the deferred dowry and maintenance the husband owes. Here al-haqq means that sum, not truth or justice, and yihutt means paying it out. Advice is easy when someone else bears the cost; if the adviser had to contribute, enthusiasm would likely turn to hesitation.

The divorce is only an illustration; the lesson is a warning about lopsided risk in any decision. Before acting on encouragement, ask who carries the burden. People spared every loss may push recklessly because they feel no stake in the outcome, and their support says little about whether the step is wise.

Use it to question encouragement from someone who risks nothing, such as a friend pushing a costly decision, a quarrel, or a break they will never pay for. It casts doubt on the adviser's motives, so it is better suited to candid talk than to polite exchanges.
