The husband’s refusal to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan on behalf of his wealthy wife

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the husband refuses to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan on behalf of his wealthy wife, does she commit a sin if she does not pay it herself?

Answer:
It is not obligatory for him to pay it, because her financial maintenance is obligatory upon him. Even if she is wealthy, even if she is wealthy, it is obligatory for him, because her financial maintenance is obligatory upon her husband by virtue of the marriage. So it is obligatory for him to pay the alms on her behalf, and she does not pay it on her own. However, if she pays it on her own, it has been mentioned to you that if the alms given at the end of Ramadan is obligatory upon another person and he pays it on his own, that is sufficient. So if she pays it on her own, but the obligation is not upon her; it is upon her husband. Yes.
