Does a wife lose maintenance if she is nushuz?

Yes, according to the Shafi'i school and the majority, a wife's maintenance lapses for as long as her nushuz (marital defiance) is established, and resumes when she becomes obedient again.
Nushuz means a wife's defiance of her husband's rights without a valid Syariah reason, such as leaving home without cause or refusing to live together. Refusal because she is being wronged, is not given maintenance or her safety is threatened is not nushuz. Child maintenance does not lapse. A disputed finding of nushuz is made by the Syariah Court, not by one party's claim. See Nushuz & conflict and Counselling.
