Is it permissible for a woman to take from her husband's money without his knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to take from her husband's money without his knowledge?

Answer:
If her husband is neglecting her financial maintenance, she takes from his money what is sufficient for her and does not exceed that. A woman asked the wife of Abu Sufyan, who asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and does not give me what is sufficient for me and my child. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Take what is sufficient for you and your child in a proper manner. Yes.
