The ruling on a wife taking her right from her husband

Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. A woman asks: I am a married woman, and I used to be a teacher. I have retired, and my husband has my card. He took some of the money from it, and the rest is with him, but he does not want to give me my full right. Sometimes he shortchanges me. Is it permissible for me to take from his pocket what is sufficient for me without his knowledge, even though it is my right from my salary? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, if he refuses to give you your right and you come across some of his money, take your right from it and do not take more than that. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: to a woman who asked him about her husband, saying that he is stingy and does not give her what is sufficient for her and her children. Is this a case of taking what is needed? He said: Yes, take what is sufficient for you and your children in a proper manner. Yes.
