The questioner : If it ruins a door and you...
The Shaykh : What is he hitting with?
The questioner : If you speak to the people. Welcome.
The Shaykh : She must hand over all of it to him. If it harms him, it is not permissible for her to dispose of anything at all. The default ruling is prohibition; the default ruling regarding her giving charity from her husband's house is prohibition. However, since the custom is established that she gives charity in small amounts, such as a piece of bread or a date, this became permissible for her.
The questioner : Which one am I finishing?
The Shaykh : If she gives charity and it is gone, because the recipient owns it and it is gone, she is like one who wasted his property and is liable to compensate for it.
