Taking from one's husband's money without his knowledge

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

Answer:
She does not take unless she is short in her maintenance. If she is short in her maintenance, she takes what suffices her. As Hind bint 'Utbah, the wife of Abu Sufyan, said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "Abu Sufyan is a stingy man who does not give me what suffices me and my child." He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Take what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروف
Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam)
This is the issue of taking what is one's right, which they call the issue of taking what is one's right. If you have a right with someone and he denies it or does not give it, you may take your right. Yes.
