Question:
A questioner says: There is an orphan woman who works as a nurse in a hospital, and her husband threatens her, saying, “Give me your salary, or I will beat you, or divorce you, or take another wife over you.” She has children from him, and she is afraid he will separate her from her children. He tells her, “Do not tell people that I am taking your salary,” and he speaks ill of her to people. So I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to give advice?
Answer:
The default is that a woman’s money belongs to her, she owns it, and it is not permissible to take it unless she is pleased to give some of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 13:78 Unless there was a condition in the contract, in the marriage contract, where it is stipulated that you must give him the salary or part of it. The Muslims are bound by their conditions, so you give him according to the condition. If there is no condition, he has no right to anything except what you allow and give him willingly. Yes.

لا يحل مال امرئ مسلم إلا بطيبة من نفسه
