Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to give charity from her husband's money without his knowledge if a poor man stops at her door asking for food, and she knows he has not given permission?
Answer:
There is no harm in taking small amounts from her husband's money, such as giving a beggar at the door a piece of bread or a date, or other small items. There is nothing wrong with that. However, a large amount is not allowed; she must have his permission and the permission of the religious authority. Yes.
