The ruling on a husband and wife agreeing to divide monthly expenses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : In some countries, for example, we find that the financial support is, for instance, for the wife. The wife might receive a monthly amount for a month that is greater than the monthly amount. So you calculate the months, for example, you are the one who is with me regarding the monthly living expenses; you are the one who buys the living expenses, and I buy the clothes and some things in the house. Does this have to be monthly?

Answer : If they agree on that, there is no harm. If they agree, there is nothing wrong with it. But if she says, “I want my right and I will save my living expenses,” she has that right. But if she does that, what do you think he will do? He will prevent her from working, because he has the right to prevent her from working, unless he had stipulated in the marriage contract that she could work.
